Do you notice anything particular about these four colours? They represent the four colours of the CMYK colour system. In contrast to the RGB colour system that dominates the representation of colours in the digital world, the CMYK colour system is central to print colours. Like RGB, CMYK is an acronym: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key. These four colours form the basis of the entire colour spectrum in printing. 

Photographer Jaap Scheeren and graphic designer Hans Gremmen conduct an almost absurdist investigation into the impact of digitalisation on the colour of an image. 

 comprises four images of the same flower bouquet, each in a different base colour. If the photos were to be layered on top of each other, they would create a lifelike still life of a bouquet. Instead they create a brightly coloured, artificial-looking image. The artists use this to question the apparent realism of the photographic medium. 

Fake Flowers in Full Colour - CMYK

Fake Flowers in Full Colour

 in 2012. Using C-type as the medium, the artwork is displayed at 73,3 x 93,4 cm.

Pink Ladies and Pear, 2012

Daniel Gordon’s work displays a kaleidoscope of colours, forms, and textures. Gordon uses his own photographs alongside images that he finds on Internet to construct three-dimensional still lifes. Although familiar with Photoshop, he mostly physically cuts and pastes in the studio. Daniel Gordon does not hide the construction behind his work but rather emphasizes it. The paper structure of the fruit is distinctly visible. A drop of glue remains visible on the rim of the fruit bowl, a silent witness of his creative practice.

Pink Ladies and Pears

 in 2008. Using C-type as the medium, the artwork is displayed at 150 x 120 cm.

Bouquet V, 2008

 by Maurice Scheltens and Liesbeth Abbenes looks like a typical Dutch seventeenth-century still life. But like most floral still lifes from that time, this carefully arranged bouquet is far from realistic. Many seventeenth-century painters assembled bouquets in their paintings with an assortment of seasonal flowers, which could never flourish at the same time. Bouquet V is also an artistic construction: the duo cut all parts of the flower arrangement from books, magazines, and catalogs, which were accurately combined into a balanced composition. This two-dimensional construction was then photographed in a three-dimensional setting, distorting the viewers’ gaze and perception of reality. The still life we see is fake and real at the same time: although not quite what it seems, it is a true creation, not a digital tableau.

Text-to-image generators have gained tremendous popularity over the past years. This specific application of artificial intelligence allows users to create digital images based on textual input. It seems that any desired image is just a few clicks away, with little to no technological knowledge about the inner workings needed.  

But what happens underneath the hood? How does a text-to-image AI exactly work? This step-by-step explainer will lift (some) of the curtains of image generation and shed light inside the black box of AI. 

Disclaimer: this is a simplified explanation of text-to-image generation. In reality, there are many different types of generation models, approaches and techniques. To learn more about this complex technology, we recommend reading

How does a new generation of image-makers from Turkey use photography to reflect on the world around them? 

As part of the multi-year project Kısmet, this online group exhibition gives a snapshot of the emerging community of contemporary image-makers from Turkey. Kısmet is inspired by longstanding cultural, diplomatic and economic ties between Turkey and the Netherlands and delves into the diverse and intricate facets of Turkish visual culture, as seen through the lens of different generations of image-makers. Here, we present the work of four talented visual artists, born after 1990, whose voices will shape the vast visual landscape in Turkey, and beyond, in the upcoming years. 

Showing a diverse range of visual styles, what connects these four artists is the profound personal investment they put in their work. Their photography holds a personal dimension that goes beyond ‘merely’ having an affinity for the chosen subject matter. Rather, their practice and the resulting bodies of work reveal a deep connection to their perception of the world around them. What stands out are the distinct translations of their inner worlds, whether this is in the methodology, subject matter or aesthetics. 

For Oğulcan Arslan, the personal comes forward not only through the story he documents, but also through photographic techniques he uses. In 

, he intimately captures a friendship by adjusting light, exposure and composition to the emotions he experiences himself or from his friend. 

Alp Peker finds solace in their photographic practice to voice their protest against unspoken issues and social taboos they experience on a daily basis. Their photographs, shown here under the title 

, are an ode to the community Alp lives in, their goals, struggles, and weirdnesses.  

Kıvılcım S. Güngörün defines her work as autobiographical fiction. The collages in 

are a direct translation of her inner workings: intuitive visual responses to questions that pop into her mind, or new questions that arise during the process.  

, Cansu Yıldıran studies the power dynamics and gender inequality that they encountered in their ancestral village in Northern Turkey. Inspired by the personal stories of the women of their family, Cansu creates emotional atmospheres that investigate their own sense of identity, of belonging and the continuous search for a safe space.

Workshop inspired by Brassaï

On the occasion of the exhibition Changing Views - 20 Years of Art Collection Deutsche B&ouml;rse, Foam presents an evening around the collection of one of the most important corporate photography collections in the world.

Anne-Marie Beckmann, director of the <a href="https://www.deutscheboersephotographyfoundation.org/">Deutsche B&ouml;rse</a> <a href="https://www.deutscheboersephotographyfoundation.org/">Photography Foundation</a>, will introduce participants to the extensive collection, which she has curated from the very beginning. Beckmann will then go into conversation with three of the photographers presented in the collection: <a href="https://www.deutscheboersephotographyfoundation.org/en/collect/artists/dana-lixenberg.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dana Lixenberg</a>, <a href="https://www.deutscheboersephotographyfoundation.org/en/collect/artists/julian-roeder.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julian R&ouml;der</a> and <a href="https://www.deutscheboersephotographyfoundation.org/en/collect/artists/tobias-zielony.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tobias Zielony</a>. The talk will focus on the body of work of these artists and will touch on themes such as identity, subcultures, representation, and how these themes are being influenced by developments in the social media landscape.

The Deutsche B&ouml;rse started its renowned Art Collection in 1999. This year it celebrates its 20th Anniversary. The Collection is dedicated to the central themes of contemporary photography from the mid-20th century onward, with subjects ranging from landscapes and portraits to still lifes, interiors and street photography. Since 2015, the non-profit Deutsche B&ouml;rse Photography Foundation has been responsible for the development, presentation and preservation of the Art Collection Deutsche B&ouml;rse. The Foundation&rsquo;s intended purpose is to develop and show the collection as well as to promote projects and institutions on the subject of photography. Most notably, it focuses on discovering and supporting new talent as well as on developing educational platforms and encouraging scientific dialogue.
ABOUT DANA LIXENBERG Dana Lixenberg (1964, NL) studied photography at the London College of Printing and at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. The artist&rsquo;s sensitivity for capturing the finest indications and details of human expression are striking in each of her portraits. The series Imperial Courts 1993&ndash;2015, her most extensive body of work to date, was awarded the Deutsche B&ouml;rse Photography Foundation Prize in 2017.
ABOUT JULIAN R&Ouml;DER Julian R&ouml;der (1981, DE) started as a photojournalist with Germany&rsquo;s influential photography agency Ostkreuz. Throughout the years, R&ouml;der developed a unique conceptual-documentary approach. He currently creates series of photographs that negotiate structures of power, environment and economy far beyond that which is concretely shown in the images. His images offer insight into the societies we are part of and the governing powers at play.
ABOUT TOBIAS ZIELONY Tobias Zielony (1973, DE) studied Documentary Photography at the University of Wales, Newport, before he continued with artistic photography at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig under Timm Rautert in 2001. Zielony is known for his photographic depiction of juvenile minorities in suburban areas. His critical approach to documentaries manifests in a specific aesthetic and relationship with fiction. People are often portrayed in a casual fashion that is sensitive to the visual language, gestures and poses a person uses.

Big Taste

On 3 February Foam organises Magazines for Lunch, where we explore how food and the capturing of food appear to be interconnected.

Besides cookbooks, magazines prove to be an important platform for food photography. A variety of magazines are centered around food. From specialised magazine such as The Gourmand, combining food with art and culture, to Allerhande, which is more focused on a broad audience. Every magazine has its own identity, market and also their own method of portraying food.
Magazines for Lunch offers an in-depth look (in)to the tradition of food photography. Which developments will be recognised, how did food photography develop throughout the years and how does the image relate to the intended audience or a specific culinary trend? And how is a photoshoot around food designed?
Three guest speakers will answers these questions in an informal setting at Foam Caf&eacute;, while you can enjoy a light lunch. This afternoon, the main focus will lie on imagery.

Magazines for Lunch

As part of the exhibition Feast for the Eyes - The Story of Food in Photography, Foam has organised Teatime on Sunday 24 February, an afternoon talk on the representation of food in relation to the image of women.

Looking at the photographs in Feast for the Eyes, it is noticeable that images of food are rarely just about food. The relationship between women and food is in many cases formed by normative gender roles: men work outside the home and women in the home take on the role of a housewife. Traditionally, the kitchen is her domain. This is reflected in cookbooks from after the Second World War. These books were not very realistic. They presented an image of abundance, progress and leisure while there were still food shortages everywhere. Further, they promised that they would alleviate the tasks of women in the kitchen, but at the same time, they propagated that the kitchen was their natural habitat. In addition to these images, the exhibition also includes a number of works that reject this portrayal, such as Semiotics of the Kitchen by Martha Rosler. In the 1970s, in a humorous manner she conducts a feminist struggle against classical views of women as kitchen princesses. During Teatime we will talk about the representation of food in relation to the image of women with Merel Bem (De Volkskrant), Susan Bright (curator Feast for the Eyes), Kim Knoppers (curator Foam) and Haley Morris-Cafiero (artist).
ABOUT FEAST FOR THE EYES The exhibtion&nbsp;shows&nbsp;a rich history of food photography - not only in the visual arts, but also in photojournalism, commercial and scientific photography. Ranging from the banality of the diner-breakfast special of Stephen Shore the to the allegorical still life of Laura Letinsky, the extensive exhibition&nbsp;Feast for the Eyes&nbsp;explores the most important figures and movements in food photography.

Travel back in time with Foam to a Cocktail Party in America's early 50's.

ATTENTION: this event is sold out
Some of the best parties in the 1950s can be characterised by the necessary preparations; slicked back or high volume hair, sleek ties or sparkling jewels, rockabilly and delicate cocktail bites, all things popularized by the advertisements of the time. Join us on Saturday night 26 January, and embrace the vibrant era filled with kitchen innovation, pearls, elaborate drinks, dinner jackets and cocktail dresses - Hollywood stars such as Monty Clift and Elizabeth Taylor.
This evening, cocktails, cocktail bites, jazz and of course, a suitable outfit come together amongst the works in the exhibition Feast for the Eyes - The Story of Food in Photography.
The welcome cocktails by R&eacute;my Martin are served from 18.30 hrs. on, followed by live jazz music in the exhibition, a 50s photo booth and guided tours. Fashion outfits from that era are encouraged (and rewarded with a prize!), so keep an eye out on instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/foam_amsterdam/">@foam_amsterdam</a> for styling tips and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/300446890585345/">invite your friends</a> to join.

Food for Thought

Exclusively for Club Foam and Foam Fan+ members, Foam organises photography workshops in November based on the exhibition Masahisa Fukase - Private Scenes.

During the workshop, you will follow in the footsteps of Masahisa Fukase and make a series of experimental, biographical photographs using various materials. In a short assignment, you have your photo taken or photograph someone else, a still life or abstract image. You can print this on a small size, after which there are enough possibilities to add expression and apply materials to the photos.&nbsp; Think of sewing yarn, applying pins and emphasising composition by means of fine liners. The experiment is paramount. The workshop ends with discussing each other's work. In this way, you also learn from the photography of others and learn to recognise your own style. All results are sent digitally afterwards, the analogue results can, of course, be taken home.&nbsp; The workshop ends with discussing each other's work.
