America by Car documents Lee Friedlander's countless wanderings around the United States over the past decade.
Friedlander succeeds in giving the classical theme of the American road trip his own very original twist, using the cars' windscreens and dashboards to frame the familiar American landscape. His images are so layered that new information continues to surface with every glance, making America by Car a unique evocation of contemporary America.

With his publication Handbook to the Stars (2012) as starting point for the eponymous Foam 3h exhibition, the Hungarian artist Peter Puklus (1980) attempts to portray his own universe and to provide insight into how his photographic works relate to each other: like galaxies in relative proximity to one another that are bound together by their own gravitational force.
The images function alongside each another and through one another, have no sequence or chronology, but exist individually even as they form interconnections and follow their own patterns.

This process began in the early 1850s, practically simultaneously with the discovery of the new medium itself. The colouring technique, based on the traditional methods of craftsmen who added colour into a certain contour design, has determined a whole independent trend in the history of photography in Russia, from ‘post-card’ landscapes and portraits to Soviet propaganda and reportage photography.

Foam presents the first 3h exhibition of the new year, 'Me & My Models', by Jan Hoek.
Jan Hoek has photographed amateur models, mentally ill homeless people in Africa, an attention-seeking girl with no arms and legs, a heroin addict who dreams of being a model, or people he has simply found in advertisements on the internet. The photo shoot is never what he expected, model and photographer always have different expectations.

One Group Show is the first major solo exhibition by Dutch photographer duo, WassinkLundgren. This exhibition will present a broad overview of their work, including projects shown for the first time.
The work of WassinkLundgren develops from small observations or humorous twists of situations from everyday life. Their starting point is always a social interest in the world around them, but equally interesting to them is how the medium of photography can deform reality.

Diane Arbus (1923–1971) revolutionized the art she practiced. Her bold subject matter and photographic approach produced a body of work that is often shocking in its purity, in its steadfast celebration of things as they are.
This exhibition of two hundred photographs affords an opportunity to explore the origins, scope, and aspirations of a wholly original force in photography. It includes all of the artist’s iconic photographs as well as many that have never before been exhibited in the Netherlands.
