residue, what remains

Unnoticed Art Festival and TheConceptBank.org
will be part of the project residue, what remains
Leicester Gallery, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK
6 February – 7 June, 2026 

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 festival and exhibition have been curated by
Sue Schroeder, artistic director of Core Dance Company.

Nieuwstraat Festival

The Nieuwstraat is an average street in the city center of Dordrecht, the Netherlands.
The festival will take place in this street on Saturday 20 June 2020, between sunrise and midnight. From the received submissions, a varied program will be compiled. The performances will be carried out by volunteers, unannounced and with no explanation.
Taking place in everyday settings, the performances involve hiding the unusual within the usual. Passersby may perceive these actions, but not recognize them as performance art.

The Open Call:
Please describe your concept in a clear and accessible language, more or less as a manual. The performances will be carried out by (often unexperienced) volunteers.
Don’t forget to mention the preferred time of the day (in relation to the opening and closing of shops, outdoor cafes, the fruit/vegetable-market).
We can only accept your submission if you include links to a website or page with some information about your practice.

Please send your submission to mail@unnoticedart.com.
Deadline: Monday, 1 June 2020, 23:59 (CET).

The Nieuwstraat festival is organised by
