“Bob Noorda was born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 1927 and attended the Instituut voor Kunstnijverheidsonderwijs (IvKNO, now the Gerrit Rietveld Academie), graduating in 1950*. The functionalist education he received, a result of the school’s Bauhaus influence, was a constant presence throughout Noorda’s life as a designer.

In 1954 Noorda moved to Milan, Italy where the economic boom and cultural climate translated into innovative design work. Since that time, Noorda has contributed a great deal to the artistic and cultural development of that city. In addition, his body of work – corporate identity, transportation signage and graphic design – has reached far beyond his adopted city of Milan.”

MUST SEE

Photography - in reverse
27 November 2009 – 21 February 2010

“Foam presents an exhibition of work by a new generation of photographers who work with the medium of photography in a refreshingly uninhibited, unconventional and sometimes slightly anarchist way. Five young Dutch photographers: Constant Dullaart, Katja Mater, Jaap Scheeren, Corriette Schoenaerts and Anne de Vries use photography more as a medium, rather than a self-evident end product. In the exhibition Photography – in reverse they present mostly new work in which they combine different disciplines: photography and internet, projections, film and installations.”
