The Abracadabra Institute is proud to present its first group exhibition titled Lost and Found, a multi-media show of Berlin-based artists that aims at highlighting aspects that proved key in the artists’ search of overcoming the problems and concerns of the pandemic.
Disruption of everyday life, solitariness, financial difficulties were the immediate effects experienced more or less by everybody for more than two years. Adapting to the new, unprecedented conditions became an essential means of survival on all levels. Many artists faced numerous challenges: leaving the usual place of artistic practice, resorting to jobs non-relevant to art to make ends meet, using materials that they had already available in a lack of resources, finding new ways to remain ‘visible’ through and connected with their art.
The show presents painting, drawing, mixed media works, photography installation, as well as performance by 11 international artists. Contemplation and critique, humor and playfulness, resilience and resistance, the surprising ways everyday activities can transform into art are notions inherent in the works of the exhibition. As the artists looked for the unearthed and the hidden, the endangered and the regained, the forgotten and the redeemed, the concealed and the recovered, they might have discovered that what was lost is not the same as what was found.
