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 that are

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.

This ambitious project’s opening weekend includes performances by John Cage/Ray Kass, Philip

Corner and Eric Anderson. This launches a rich program of talks and events that runs the duration

of the exhibition.

Tamalpa UK is delighted to have been invited to take part in the residue what remains exhibition, sharing and offering the Halprin work and legacy from the 22nd – 24th May 2026.
