Past Events and Exhibitions
This year is the 10th edition of the international biennial of photography held in Liège, now to be called Biennial of the Possible Image. Established in 1997, BIP focussed strictly on photography, but the part several years, the event has given space to the multiple facets of contemporary photographic practices by placing them face to face with other artistic disciplines. After having worked for a number of years around various themes, BIP is now turning towards a freer and more open exploration of the visual field, more mixed and interbred.
Hypnagogia is a hallucinatory mental state between wakefulness and sleep, a blurring of consciousness which is often associated with heightened creativity. The idea for this themed project came to Alec Soth unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, and the photographs that make up the exhibition are gleaned from years of work between 1996 and the present day.
The Belfast Photo Festival is a not for profit organisation that presents one of the leading International Festivals of photography in the United Kingdom and the Visual Arts Festival of Northern Ireland.
Since 2011 this major photographic event has attracted thousands to Belfast, celebrating some of the finest National and International contemporary photography across 30 museums, galleries and public venues.
The Don’t Stop Now: Fashion Photography Next exhibition, organised by Foam in collaboration with guest curator Magdalene Keaney, starts out from the fact that fashion photographers are first and foremost photographers. The exhibition provides a platform for a new generation of image-makers who work with fashion and draws upon developments from the past five years.

The career of William Klein (b. 1928) spans more than sixty years and his work had a major influence on photography in the second half of the twentieth century. The exhibition gives ample coverage to Klein’s ground-breaking work in New York in the 1950s while also displaying work made in Rome, Moscow and Tokyo.

America by Car documents Lee Friedlander's countless wanderings around the United States over the past decade.
Friedlander succeeds in giving the classical theme of the American road trip his own very original twist, using the cars' windscreens and dashboards to frame the familiar American landscape. His images are so layered that new information continues to surface with every glance, making America by Car a unique evocation of contemporary America.

With his publication Handbook to the Stars (2012) as starting point for the eponymous Foam 3h exhibition, the Hungarian artist Peter Puklus (1980) attempts to portray his own universe and to provide insight into how his photographic works relate to each other: like galaxies in relative proximity to one another that are bound together by their own gravitational force.
The images function alongside each another and through one another, have no sequence or chronology, but exist individually even as they form interconnections and follow their own patterns.
