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.

The leader shows fragments of an interview of Hans Ulrich Obrist with Maurizio Cattelan, who set up the Oblomov Foundation, which in a way was an institution to teach failure. They got money from different donors and trustees and gave it to an artist who would accept not to exhibit for a whole year. The artist would get the money, but he had to disappear from the art world. It was never awarded, they couldn't find an artist who wanted to accept the grant.
