Very Modern and Rather Ugly – iconic, witty, and colorful

Discover the newly opened exhibition of Martin Parr, featuring his most iconic images. Parr is celebrated for his ability to make the familiar look strange and the boring interesting. Through his vibrant visual language, he transformed seemingly banal scenes into incisive reflections on modern society. 

The exhibition invites visitors not only to view Parr’s world but to explore it further. A reading area allows you to delve into his many photobook publications, and the café offers a specially curated menu inspired byMartin Parr – including scones and classic English tea.

Experience why the everyday is anything but ordinary in Parr’s work. Very Modern and Rather Ugly is on view at Foam until 12 August.
