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.

    lecture, 2016, 12 min

    Tijs Goldschmidt talks about iconoclasm and Icelandic horse shit with links to the last Marlene Dumas exhibition.

    "Jagen en ook verzamelen kwamen vanavond aan bod. Bioloog Tijs Goldschmidt legde een overtuigend verband tussen de 'vijgentorens' van paarden (hengsten deponeren hun grote boodschappen op andermans grote boodschap) en het taboe op 'crossen' (overspuiten) in graffiti. Ook het dreigement van de schilder Rob van Koningsbruggen om over een schilderij van Marlene Dumas te urineren, kon de bioloog vanuit dat hengstengedrag duiden. Goldschmidt benadrukte dat vooral mannen dergelijke behoeften hebben: 'de vijgentoren is herenleed'."
