Welcome to the Lost & Found archive, featuring photographs and reports from our evenings as well as information about the participating artists. The artists’ websites are published here so they can be contacted directly. All flyers have been photographed; their materiality is visible, with corners, folds, and relief retaining their tactile quality on screen.This site takes the form of a growth model and behaves as a work in its own right: it is always, and never, finished. The site functions as an archive and is not updated regularly; if you wish for a change or update, you may submit a request.

Since 1997, over 200 sessions of stray images and sound have been organised. Artists, writers, scientists and musicians present work in progress, experiment or present work that doesn't fit into their oeuvre (yet). A specific and unique stage for diverse and hybrid works which don't fit comfortably into galleries or museums.

  1. Lost and Found: Das Fundbüro

    Een Duitse schlager van David Hasselhoff, een absurdistische film van de Duitse kunstenaar John Bock en een culturele analyse van de langstlopende Duitse krimi ‘Tatort’. De Lost & Found avond op 7 september had een duidelijk Duits thema en werd dan ook in het Goethe-Institut in Amsterdam georganiseerd. Tijdens de avond werden op rap tempo zeven uiteenlopende presentaties van lezingen tot video’s getoond en op vlotte wijze gepresenteerd door Julia van Mourik, Alma Mathijsen en Jeanine Hofland.
