Lost Farm is a DIY art organisation and community that creates a diverse and live public (free) program, where international artists are invited to stay and create work within the unique coastal peninsula of Sjællands Odde (Odden).

Lost Farm supports local collaborations and encourages visiting artists to engage and create relevant participatory projects within the community, or generously share their practice, with the hope of creating artistic experiences and open access to contemporary art in Oddens’ everday spaces.

The program is an intertwinning artistic ecosystem that tests different durations, scales that unfold across seasons and geographically dispersed sites while remaining connected.

This unconventional format is not a workaround for being rural or on the periphery. It is the point.

Rather than importing an urban institutional model to Sjællands Odde, Lost Farm asks what contemporary art can become when it is made from the particular conditions of this place. Artistic production, exhibition and mediation can overlap; a sauna can become a listening space, a harbour wall an artwork, a museum a radio station, a school a place of artistic research, and the journey between them part of experiencing the exhibition.

Rooted in community activism and artist-led experimentation, Lost Farm brings the relationships, local knowledge and curatorial experience necessary together to connect Sjællands Odde with ambitious Danish, Nordic and international artistic practices.

Lost Farm does not simply bring contemporary art to Sjællands Odde. Lost Farm asks what contemporary art can become when it is made from here.
