For Art's Sake
28 January - 15 February 2006
By organising small scale exhibitions Foam focusses on photographers that have just finished their studies. The library at the third floor is Foam's newest location for these small, quickly alternating exhibitions: Foam_3h.
From 17 February to 2 April Foam presents work by Daniëlle van Ark about the galleries of New York. For a year she photographed openings of shows in Chelsea, in which the gallery owners, the public and the waiters seem to play an more important role than the actual exhibits.
Ever since the 1990s, when a number of leading galleries moved into some of the huge empty offices there, Chelsea has been the home of New York’s principal art galleries. Located on the extreme west of Manhattan, over 300 galleries can be found in the space of around six streets, attracting a constant flow of buyers and connoisseurs six days a week. In a part of the city in which residential houses are practically unaffordable, and almost no lower class exists, art has carved out more square metres for itself than the average inhabitant of Manhattan.
