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 Æß²ÊÖ±²¥. 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.

 

The project’s curator, Sue Schroeder, is the Artistic Director of Core Dance and has a long and rich history as a choreographer. Her experience and practice of choreography has shaped the exhibition so that live activity and the passage of time are as important to the show as the space it inhabits.

​

The ambitious project’s opening weekend includes performances by John Cage/Ray Kass, Philip Corner and Eric Andersen. This launches a rich program of talks and events that runs the duration of the exhibition.
