About
Lost & Found:
Drawing from their network of budding artist, the editors of the Lost
& Found program compose evenings of audiovisual presentations at which
the audience puts in the extra zing.
Lost & Found was started in 1997 in Amsterdam, informal gatherings
where visual artists show new work to each other. The editors draw on
their network of artists of all disciplines, mixing in friends who have
interesting things to show, like a stewardess with a slide collection
and fashion designers with a tape of their first show in Paris: Viktor
& Rolf. This debris is then shown in the context of a Lost & Found
evening. These have proved to be unique compositions.
Lost & Found is a podium for a collective art experience. The hierarchy of the image is absent. No contribution is longer then twenty five minutes, to make sure no idea dominates the evening. Contemporary artists show their work and introduce it themselves. The presence of the artist guarantees an intimacy that characterizes the Lost & Found evenings.
In February 2004 the editors organize a Lost & Found event in Los Angeles. The same program will be shown in March in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The editorial team spurs artists to unearth the tapes, cdroms, films, videos or slides, that are close to their heart but always seemed out of place and never found a stage.
Editorial team LA: Julia van Mourik (Executive Editor Re-Magazine and Monica Nouwens (artist). Advise by: Adam Eeuwens (editor) and Rebeca Méndez (professor Design|Media Arts UCLA), Lawrence Rengert (artist), Max Preisnell (director Raid Projects).
Lost & Found is sponsored by the Mondriaan Foundation and the City of Amsterdam.

About Re-Magazine #11 - Winter/Spring 2004
'Food Coma' is dedicated
to Marcel's one and only obsession: food.
Marcel is 43 and living in Wavrin, a small village near Lille, France.
Marcel weighs 100 kilo and has been on every diet on the planet. Last
year he decided to make a radical break, to be no longer confused by all
the contradicting ideologies in dieting, but to embrace them instead.
In three monologues Marcel tells about his experimental relationship with
food, a story that begin where diet-gurus, chefs, bulimia patients, slow
food activists, fruitarians and other gourmands stop.
Marcel was photographed for Re-Magazine by Inez van Lamsweerde/Vinoodh Matadin, Viviane Sassen, Anuschka Blommers/Niels Schumm and Katja Rahwles.
Re-Magazine is an international magazine from the Netherlands. The magazine is an intersection of visual culture and editorial experimentation. Each issue is about the life of one person. Re-Magazine is interested in stories about extreme personalities, people who make a difference. Like John; in search of unconditional freedom, he left his job, his family and his daily routines. He burned his passport and disappeared. And Claudia, an extraordinary woman from Berlin. She has it all: monumental size, breathtaking beauty, staggering success, mind-blowing intelligence and sincere happiness.

Press quotes
“Re-Magazine
eschews the typical news fare of media events and the personification
of celebrity, both of which form the basis of most publishing, in favor
of capturing the attitudes of ordinary people, even in the subject flirts
with topics close to advertising, such as sex and boredom. Re-Magazine’s
use of photography owes something to the informality of the snapshot but
retains a strong directorial presence, orchestrating the actions and technical
elements to great effect, in essence restaging the everyday with a certain
artifice in mind.”
Andrew Blauvelt, Strangely Familiar: Design and Everyday
Life, Walker Art Center, 2003
“Re-Magazine’s
great virtue is its willingness to expose sentiments that seldom find
public expression, most often relating to the apparently trivial experiences
and memories that make up the larger part of existence. Alongside this
editorial idiosyncrasy, it is beautifully designed and photographed, each
issue adopting a form to suit its subject."
Emily
King, Frieze, October 2003
“A never-dull magazine dedicated to all that is mundane about modern
life.”
Johnny Davis, The Independent on Sunday,
23 June 2002
“I am a fan.”
Rem Koolhaas
“Fills the gap
between fashion, design, art, photography, lifestyle - and all other magazines.”
V Magazine, Spring 2001
“The magazine
has a Douglas Coupland-like aura of bewilderment about modern life. Evidently
the contributors and photographers are as hip as you can be, but that
doesn’t stop them being objective enough to come up with amusing
discoveries and telling observations. Re-Magazine is a real asset.”
Hans den Hartog Jager, NRC Handelsblad,
2 August 2000
