FOAM, - FOAM Magazine #48 - Talent 2017

"Featuring the work of 20 outstanding young artists selected through the annual Foam Talent Call, 'Foam Magazine #48: Talent' is an inspiring overview of the developments being made by a new generation of gifted image-makers from around the world.
Each portfolio published in the Talent Issue is accompanied by a critical essay offering further insight into the nature and concept of the project. (...)

At a time of significant global uncertainty, it is fitting that a number of the featured artists express varied socio-political concerns in their work. As well as portfolios with powerful aesthetic signatures, the 11th edition of the Talent Issue also includes a striking number of long-term projects, each one having acquired greater depth and meaning through time.
Beyond the Talent portfolios, regular features include a view of Peter Puklus’ working methods in Toolbox, a Self Portrait comprising works from Zanele Muholi’s ongoing Somnyama Ngonyama series, as well as an extended conversation between AA Bronson and Wolfgang Tillmans.
