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. Try Again Better

    Sonja plays a speech of Mao on culture before she introduces us to British composer Cornelius Cardew (1936 – 1981). He was among the most influential musicians and, perhaps, “political activists” of the 20th century. Sonja draws attention to the very strands that lead from the composer’s work right into the heart of Albania. None of his works has ever been performed in Albania. Sonja attempts to shed light onto this intrinsic relationship between Albania and the pivotal composer’s work by having an orkestra play his music 30 years later.
