The acquisition to the Tate collection of the installation
representing the post-modern masterpiece Set and Reset (1983)
by Trisha Brown,in collaboration with the artist Robert
Rauschenberg, musician Laurie Anderson and lighting designer
Beverly Emmons, has opened up new challenges and possibilities
for Tate. How can a museum represent dance in its collection? Sadler’s Wells
From January to September 2022, in our underground
Tanks spaces, Tate Modern will present a new display of
Set and Reset as an installation, archive and score for live
performance. Together with the Dance Reflections by
Van Cleef & Arpels Festival, we are delighted to be working
with two London-based dance companies – Rambert and
Candoco – to present Trisha Brown’s original choreographic
work and its evolution in Set and Reset / Reset, where working
Royal Opera House
with disabled and non-disabled dancers, Candoco Dance
Company provide other possibilities to push the boundaries
of dance and Brown’s original choreography. We will also
present a deconstruction of the choreography through an
informal demonstration titled Set and Reset/Unset.
This experimental, multi-part presentation unsettles the notion
that the museum fixes works of art into a static shape upon
collecting them; that preservation means stopping time.
The ‘Set and Reset’ programme opens up the historic work
Sadler’s Wells ©Philip Vile / Royal Opera House ©Hufton + Crow / Tate Modern ©Iwan Baan
as both an important artefact and a point of inspiration and
direction for a next generation to inhabit and run with.
In the 1960s, Trisha Brown was one of a generation of
significant dancers and choreographers in downtown New York
who were not content with the idea that dance was about
virtuosity, defying gravity and executing steps. She, alongside
Yvonne Rainer, Steve Paxton and others, put walking, running
and falling into the repertoire of movement.
Brown’s work shows us how an artist’s phrases, concepts
and gestures shift and circulate, recurring and echoing between
contexts and compositions through time, and this is fundamental
to the design of her master work. This presentation of Set and Tate Modern
Reset aims to both offer a view of that exceptional design and
cultivate its mercurial spirit towards further experimentation,
which is only made possible through the generous support
of Van Cleef & Arpels, to whom we wish to pass on our gratitude.

collective imagination of clubbing, in order
to better connect them to our times. On stage,
a relentless mechanism reveals, through small
variations on a pre-established motif, a metaphor
for the world and the time in which we live.
A post-modern performance, both physical and
intellectual, totally hypnotic, that takes form
and intention to the point of exhaustion.
