Dutch Photography: The Space between Us is a joint exhibition by the He Xiangning Art Museum and Foam, using the photographic works of nine young Dutch artists to present a cross-section of Dutch contemporary photography.

To China, the Netherlands is an open and free country with symbols such as tulips, windmills, clogs and know for its design industry and the tolerant society. The Netherlands has also produced many famous artists, such as Rembrandt van Rijn, Vincent van Gogh and Piet Mondriaan, who have played a major role in Western art history. The nearly one hundred works by nine young photographic artists in this exhibition present their creative ideas and approaches to the creation of photographic art, as well as their extreme inward appeals, while presenting the conundrums they face and the possibilities they have unearthed for a more diverse mode of existence and exploration for photography as a medium of contemporary art. It provides Chinese audience with a new visual specimen for photographic art.
