PHOTO COMPETITION: Imagine a new world
Wednesday, 01 July 2009
Now that the talent call is closed, why not seize the chance to participate to the “Imagine a new world” photo competition? The competition has just been launched by the European Commission in the context of the European Year of Creativity and Innovation 2009, which aims to raise awareness of how creativity and innovation contribute to our personal, social, and economic development.
Imagination is a vital faculty for the human being. Imagination helps provide meaning to experience and understanding to knowledge; it's thanks to imagination that we can make sense of the world. Dig deep in your imagination and provide an original work where you express your vision of a "new world", your vision of the future.
The competition is open to anyone who is a resident of an EU Member State, a candidate country, or of Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway, and of course anyone who shares our passion for photography. A prestigious jury of high-level professionals, from the fields of photography and the arts, will select the winners who will receive a camera or photographic equipment worth up to 5000 € and a trip to a European city.
Get more information on how to enter the competition, the participation requirements, the prizes and the members of the Jury to the official website.

NOW! with your Foam Magazine subscription: So Blue So Blue
Thursday, 19 March 2009
The first twenty subscribers who will start their subscription with Foam Magazine #18 'Displaced' will receive the publication of Ad van Denderen So Blue So Blue. Go to our shop and enclose the promotion code: SOBLU in the promotion code box when finalising your order.
The starting point of So Blue So Blue was in 2001 when Van Denderen photographed a group of a hundred illegal immigrants, landing on a beach in the south of Spain in rubber boats. Soaked to the skin, they ran off in the early morning light. Three hours later tourists appeared on the same beach, spreading out their towels to enjoy another sunny day. Realising that the region is riven with these inconsistencies, he has spent the past 5 years photographing in every country that borders the Mediterranean Sea. So Blue, So Blue is his personal attempt to make sense of the immense economic, political, socio-religious and ecological changes taking place around the open space that Europe, Asia and Africa have contested and shared for centuries.

COMING UP: 'CONSTRUCT', THE NEW SUMMER ISSUE
Thursday, 29 May 2008
The next edition of Foam Magazine will be published at the end of June. The theme of Foam Magazine #15 is 'Construct' and features six portfolios with work that shows an alternate reality that has been constructed by the artists. In these constructed images there is a tension between fantasy and reality for the viewer. He or she is seduced into an active kind of viewing. The respresentation is first deconstructed in order that it can be mentally reconstructed once again, following the example of the original maker. It is here that the core of the artist's presence lies and the confrontation with the work becomes above all a meeting with its maker.
'Construct' features the work of Melanie Bonajo, Thomas Demand, Moira Ricci, Toshiko Okanoue, Martina Sauter and Myoung Ho Lee.
