Each year without fail, Foam Talent presents an impressive new generation of artists. Now, as the talent call moves to a biannual structure to further its development programme, we’re keeping an extra keen eye on this year’s edit, which is one of the must-see Amsterdam photography exhibitions of the year. Each artist responds to the world’s challenges in myriad dynamic ways; climate change, political conflict, discrimination, displacement, and social justice issues are all explored from global perspectives.
‘The Showcase: unboxing the Coda collection’ Scheltens & Abbenes Until 15 January 2023
Gym by Scheltens & Abbenes
Dutch duo Scheltens & Abbenes create unique perspectives through their visual interrogations in ‘The Showcase’. After being given free rein to explore the museum archives at Apeldoon’s Coda, the often hidden away histories are revealed in photographic form. Through their box compositions, the icons of still life photography explore the carefully composed act of conservation and the past lives of these objects, noticing a frayed edge or creased tissue paper. Lots of curious questions arise for the viewer, yet we’re encouraged to go astray as we wander through the exhibition that Scheltens & Abbenes, true to form, interpret as a large-scale still life.
