Foam Talent | NEW YORK
20 young artists shaping the future of photography
22 March - 8 April 2018

Opening party: 22 March 6-9pm | Red Hook Labs, Brooklyn, New York

Foam Talk: Spotlight on Talent: 23 March, 6.30-9pm | ICP International Center of Photography, 250 Bowery NY

Foam returns to Red Hook Labs in Brooklyn, New York to present Foam Talent; the group exhibition bringing together 20 international artists selected through the annual Foam Talent Call for Foam Magazine.

The artists featured in Foam Talent use photography to investigate a myriad of historical and contemporary notions. Applying their own unique language of image and form, they examine the world, sometimes in ways that are strongly engaged or even activist in nature, at times with irony, or a lightness of touch. These 20 image-makers are constantly introducing us to unexpected applications of media and digital aesthetics.

PARTICIPATING ARTISTS
Sushant Chhabria (India), David De Beyter (France), Mark Dorf (USA), Alinka Echeverría (Mexico/UK), Weronika Gęsicka (Poland), Wang Juyan (China), Thomas Kuijpers (The Netherlands), Quentin Lacombe (France), Clément Lambelet (Switzerland), Namsa Leuba (Switzerland/Guinea), Erik Madigan Heck (USA), Alix Marie (France), Martin Errichiello & Filippo Menichetti (Italy), Wang Nan (China), Kai Oh (South Korea), Viacheslav Poliakov (Ukraine), Ben Schonberger (USA), Sadegh Souri (Iran), Harit Srikhao (Thailand) and Vasantha Yogananthan (France).

Foam Talk: Spotlight on Talent: 23 March, 6.30-9pm | ICP International Center of Photography, 250 Bowery NY

In conjunction with the exhibition Foam is organising an evening of talks at the International Center of Photography.
