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.

Ed Ruscha

visual artist (USA), website

  1. premium

    Shown at L&F Berlin (03–09–2011)

  1. Miracle

    At the last L&F in September in Theatrum Anatomicum, we showed ‘Premium’ by Ed Ruscha, it took all summer to trace down this film. Ed Ruscha made two short films, which are rarely screened. When searching for this film, I met a guy form White Light Cinema on the internet, a new, alternative film screening series in Chicago, and he said this other Ed Ruscha film is even better. So here we are, we haven’t seen it ourselves, we have no idea what’s in it, except it involves a car mechanic whose obsession with the carburetor of a ’65 Mustang delays his date with Michelle Phillips.

  1. Premium

    Ruscha’s first film, Premium, 1971, follows the artist Larry Bell — known for his cube sculptures of mirrored glass — as he attempts to make a giant salad on a bed in a cheap hotel room with model Leon Bing as one of his prime ingredients. The film, which is silent and based on Mason Williams’ 1969 short story “How to Derive the Maximum Enjoyment from Crackers” also features a lab rat “that Ed colored to look like a city rat, with a Pentel,” according to Norden.
