With my art projects, I approach people that historically experience oppression in many different ways. But still, their culture, their tradition, their way of keeping knowledge alive: they represent resistance in many ways.,

Northern Winds: Jonathas de Andrade’ Fascination with Jangadeiros

"Every age has its great loss – for modernism, it was the coherence of the self; for postmodernism, the stability of master narratives – and now, in the 21st century, there is an increasing pressure on the notion of a shared reality."

Silent Chronicles. About the work of Steffi Reimers

A still from Wild Encounters, 2023

"At a certain point I lost track of you. 
They make a desolation and call it peace. 
when you left even the stones were buried: 
the defenceless would have no weapons." 

"When the ibex rubs itself against the rocks, 
who collects its fallen fleece from the slopes? 
O Weaver whose seems perfectly vanished, 
who weighs the hairs on the jeweller’s balance?"

"If only somehow you could have been mine, 
what would not have been possible in the world?" 

‘In the lake the arms of temples and mosques are locked in each other’s reflections.  
Have you soaked saffron to pour on them when they are found like this  
centuries later in this country  
I have stitched to your shadow?’

Gigapedia: Exhibition Glossary. About the work of Jakob Ganslmeier and Ana Zibelnik

"Hollowing out a mountain. Bit by bit, explosion by explosion (...) Within just a few years, between 1959 and 1965, the mountain was scooped out from within in order to house the Cruachan Power Station (...), channelling water from Loch Awe to a reservoir, depositing energy and releasing it at times of demand. A large number of people in the western part of the country received access to electricity for the first time, but the heart of something larger than them was blasted."

"The images were made by digitally combining multiple photographs taken in natural beauty spots over the course of a few hours. De Mahieu identified popular sites according to the volume of geotags or hashtags on Instagram, before ensuring they offered the panoramic views and opportunities to photograph visitors from above that characterise the series."

"As children we have a simple perception of waste: rubbish disappears into the bin, keeping our rooms clean. Upon adulthood, this concept becomes more complex and imbued with economic, social and ecological implications. Waste then becomes more than a matter of hygiene, it turns into a crossroads of economy, ecology and social justice."

"Salt Lake Urmia is a Unesco-protected ecosystem reserve. However, due to the diversion of fresh water for agricultural and human use, it has lost 88 per cent of its surface area and 80 per cent of its volume since 1972. The situation has worsened with the over-construction of reservoirs, national population growth and the expansion of agricultural sector to promote domestic food security during and after the Iran-Iraq war.

Felipe Romero Beltrán wins FPHA 2023

Mardin, September 2020 

The recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria have left an enormous number of people, families, and communities in urgent need of assistance. Given Foam’s longstanding collaboration with Turkish artists, institutions and communities through the ongoing Kısmet project, we are committed to supporting those affected by these devastating events. We therefore support the 'Pictures for Purpose' print sale fundraiser, featuring works by 39 artists with proceeds going to two volunteer organisations working locally: AHBAP and White Helmets. We spoke to artist Olgaç Bozalp (Foam Talent and part of Kısmet) about his contribution to the fundraiser.
