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.

Van Leo

photographer (EG), website

  1. selfportraits and classics

    Van Leo is Egypt's glamour photographer of the forties. Only five years before he died, he was recognized as as great artist. Barry Iverson worked with him the last ten years of his live and printed his photographs. Tonight, Barry shows us a selection of Van Leo's own favorites. We see a large amount of self portraits -this used to upset Van Leo's father as they cost a lot of money- and some classics from the 40-60. And a lot of landscapes that had never been shown before.
