Robert Frank
Paris
4-04-2009 - 7-06-2009
In 1947 Robert Frank (b. 1924) emigrated from the land where he was
born – Switzerland – to the land of promise – the United States. At
first Frank was very much impressed by the freedoms and possibilities
that America seemed to offer. But the longer he lived there the more
his view of this New World changed.

Ed van der Elsken
Paris!
4-04-2009 - 7-06-2009
In the decade after the Second World War Paris was a magnet for artists from all over the world. Many of them wanted to escape the petty bourgeois norms and values that went with the postwar reconstruction in their own countries. Because Paris had remained largely untouched during the war cultural developments continued there, and it was the ultimate place to develop one's artistic ambitions further. The Dutch photographer Ed van der Elsken (1925 - 1990) too departed for Paris in 1950, where he eventually lived for four years.

WHY NOT
Otto Snoek
7-03-2009 - 17-05-2009
The city is where the photographer Otto Snoek works, and people, and how they relate to their urban environment, are his subject. In Rotterdam, the city where he was born, he gravitates to the places where crowds tend to form, whether for a particular reason or not, like public events, transportation interchanges, shopping streets or squares. With the metropolitan decor as its backdrop, his work can be placed in
the photographic tradition of street photography to which Ed van der
Elsken, Joel Meyerowitz and Martin Parr, among others, also belong.

Dutch Eyes
A Critical History of Photography in the Netherlands
16-04-2007 - 26-08-2007
Dutch Eyes is the Nederlands Fotomuseum’s major inaugural exhibition in
Las Palmas and offers surprising new perspectives on the history of
Dutch photography. It is the first time in 25 years that an overview
has been devoted to this subject. The exhibition surveys the history of
photography in the Netherlands through the prism of a wide range of
themes, presenting work by an impressive list of photographers,
renowned and less familiar, who have worked in the Netherlands. This
abundance of work may bring back old memories, but it also provides
eye-opening perspectives on the rich history of photography in the
Netherlands.

China Contemporary
Architecture, Art and Visual Culture
11-06-2006 - 3-09-2006
China Contemporary is a collaboration between the Netherlands Architecture Institute, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen and the Nederlands fotomuseum. This first interdisciplinary overview of China’s contemporary art, architecture and visual culture – including television, photography, newspapers, magazines and blogs – also provides a platform for a new critical voice from the People’s Republic. China is undergoing a phenomenal transformation. In just a few years the country has developed into the mecca of the market economy, a place where existing and new cities are mushrooming into modern metropolises at breakneck speed. But is this all just a glossy image? Three Rotterdam arts institutions have teamed up to show the work of contemporary artists, photographers, architects and designers from China to have them answer this question with provocative, critical, ironic and beautiful work.
