Sinds 1997 heeft Lost & Found meer dan 200 avonden voor verdwaalde beelden en geluiden samengesteld. Kunstenaars, schrijvers, wetenschappers en muzikanten laten werk in ontwikkeling zien, experimenteren of tonen werk dat (nog) niet in hun oeuvre past. Een specifiek en uniek podium voor divers en hybride werk dat in een museaal circuit geen plaats heeft.

Having arrived to Amsterdam not even two months ago, I honestly had no idea what to expect when I got asked to review an upcoming Lost & Found event. After browsing through Lost & Found’s online existence, I gathered it functioned as a quasi-off-gallery space where artists (of all kind) could show work in progress. Or, work that was unable to reach home in whatever conventional art setting. Since there’s always an underlying magnetism towards the outcasted — a fascination likely grounded within our own frequently encountered mood amidst societal topography (or perhaps I’m just surrendering to my very own paranoia here) — it wasn’t a big shock to witness the place nearly packed; in tow a genuine enthusiasm which managed to retain itself unpretentiously throughout the entirety of the evening.
