Foam is launching a new pop-up venue: Foam Next Door. In this former office space – two doors down from the museum – Foam presents the brand new exhibition Foam Talent 2019, with works from a new generation of visual artists.

The 20 selected photographers give insight as to the position of contemporary photography today. These upcoming photographers cross the borders of the photographic medium with striking ease. Object installations in which the experience of the work is just as important as the aesthetic value are as readily found as classic two-dimensional photographs, while archival materials continue to play an important role, together with multi-layered, long-term research.

The work of these 20 outstanding young artists selected through the annual Foam Talent Call are featured in Foam Magazine #52, Talent Issue. After the presentation at Foam Next Door the Foam Talent exhibition will tour to New York, London and Frankfurt.

The festive opening will take place on Saturday, 12 January 2019 by the night mayor Shamiro van der Geld in the presence of the artists and with music by SYMBIOSYS.

The Talent Issue of Foam Magazine serves as an exhibition catalogue and provides more in-depth texts around the featured artists’ work.
