NY PERSPECTIVES
Amsterdam discovered by NY photographers

14 May – 23 August 2009

To mark the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s discovery of Manhattan, Foam is teaming up with the Amsterdam City Archives and the John Adams Institute to organise an exhibition about Amsterdam, as seen through the eyes of four New York photographers. Gus Powell, Carl Wooley, Richard Rothman and Joshua Lutz were each commissioned to explore a different aspect of the city: the street, the night, the water and the outskirts. This commission has resulted in surprising images, which show an unknown side of Amsterdam.
These images will be on display in De Bazel building in Amsterdam from May until August 2009. While the exhibition Richard Avedon - Photographs 1946–2004 exhibition is being dismantled, Foam will temporarily close its doors, but thanks to the cooperation with the City Archives, the continuity of the photography on offer in Amsterdam is guaranteed.
