residue… what remains

Curated by Sue Schroeder 

Drawing on key collections from across Europe and the United States the exhibition residue…what remains provides a rich overview of the legacies of Fluxus artists and the group’s continuing influence on contemporary visual arts, dance, theatre, film, music and performance.

The exhibition is inspired by Professor Nicholas Zurbrugg whom at the end of the twentieth century brought together an exceptional collection of Fluxus artworks at De Montfort University. The curator of the exhibition, Sue Schroeder, builds on his extraordinary legacy to create an
ever-changing exhibition that includes a rich performance program.  

residue…what remains includes major works by John Cage, Alison Knowles and Anna Halprin and is surrounded by changing constellations of artists influenced by the playful interdisciplinarity of Fluxus. 

The title of the show, residue…what remains suggest the transience of many of the works, whether scores to be performed or marks left after an event. The exhibition draws on the logics of choreography and performance to reimagine what an exhibition can be. Scores suggest moments yet to happen, documents capture moments past and the exhibition provides a stage for live activity whose remains then integrate into the exhibition.
