Lorek was the initiator and namesake of the unofficial artist magazine schaden , which he initially published together with Egmont Hesse . The magazine quickly advanced to become the most prominent and influential alternative publication on the autonomous literature and art scene in the GDR. Between 1984 and 1987 it appeared in 17 editions. The complete edition is listed in several internationally renowned collections.

In addition to numerous publications in subcultural journals in the GDR, Lorek also published poems and essays elsewhere. His contributions to the anthologies Kontakt ist nur ein Randerscheinung (1985) and Language and Answer (1988) made him known in West Germany even before 1989. In 2009 his first book was published, beside lie .

Leonhard Lorek was and is involved in several bands as a lyricist and musician; these include z.art, more expensive than ever, bold, la deutsche vita, Dubach Deut and Mendelsson.
