Issue 04 investigates notions of ‘found’. From our initial musings on Found Art – a term originally coined by Marcel Duchamp and epitomised by his famous Fountain sculpture – we then became interested in how the act of finding can be incorporated into various works of art and artistic mediums. Moving past the original definition which refers primarily to found household objects (think Tracey Emin’s My Bed and Salvador Dalí’s Lobster Telephone), we began looking at work where the human subject is the found object; work that requires the viewer to do the finding as opposed to the artist; and work in which the very process of searching and finding is the art itself.
