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.

Since 1997, the Lost & Found evenings have established themselves as the place to be for artists and insiders alike. As usual, the contents of tonight’s event have been kept a secret and it can be quite difficult to get in without an invitation. The concept of Lost & Found is to present art, writing, poetry or music that hasn’t found a place in exhibitions and that demands more from the viewer than juts a quick glance. The cheerful ambience at these improvised nights often results in either a warm or very critical reception, depending on the appeal of the presentations.
