A playful journey between Fluxus, sound, and encounter

With ART WITH CAKE: Yuko Mohri & Ei Arakawa-Nash – How we meet, the Kunstmuseum Bochum opens a space for a special aesthetic experience: Art appreciation in a relaxed atmosphere, conversation, museum café, and a look at an exhibition that brings experimental art history to life. On June 24, 2026, this event combines guided tours and encounters into an artistic experience aimed at art-loving visitors who want to not only see contemporary art but experience it in space.

Fluxus in the Present: When Art Meets Everyday Life

The exhibition is linked to the Fluxus show How We Met, which saw the estate of Bochum gallerist Inge Baecker integrated into the collection of the Kunstmuseum Bochum for the first time. Yuko Mohri and Ei Arakawa-Nash respond to this historical material basis with a contemporary, playful, and precisely curated parcours production. At the center are simple things and big questions: water, fruit, money, energy, work, and the question of how art maintains its motion.

Yuko Mohri: Installation as a Living System

Yuko Mohri, born in 1980 in Kanagawa and living in Tokyo, develops installations and sculptures that are constantly changing. Her works function like delicate machines or small ecosystems. In the Bochum context, this particularly applies to Decomposition: 24 Red and Moré Moré (Leaky): Variations, where organic materials, everyday objects, and technical elements collide. Light, temperature, humidity, and the movement of visitors become part of the artwork appreciation.

Ei Arakawa-Nash: Performance, Participation, and the Fluxus Legacy

Ei Arakawa-Nash, born in 1977 in Fukushima and living in Los Angeles, works with installation and performance. His art emphasizes equality: things, images, and people appear as joint actors. With LED-Paintings, new productions, and the project Water Money Salad, he links questions of money, the art market, ecological responsibility, and artistic work. The exhibition quotes the spirit of Fluxus without succumbing to nostalgia.

A Museum as an Experience Space

The Kunstmuseum Bochum is particularly suitable for this format: it combines collection, mediation, and contemporary art with an open, barrier-free visiting situation. The exhibition is designed as a walkable parcours in which the effects of space, sound, materiality, and movement unfold immediately. Those who look here not only experience works but also relationships between art, the audience, and institutional memory.

Art with Cake: Cultural Enjoyment for Seniors

The format Art with Cake is especially aimed at seniors who want to get to know the museum in a calm environment. The tour is complemented by a shared conversation over cake and drinks. The appeal of this offer lies in its cultural education without barriers, conveyed with professional competence and social warmth.

Conclusion: ART WITH CAKE: Yuko Mohri & Ei Arakawa-Nash – How we meet promises an inspiring afternoon between Fluxus history, contemporary installation, and personal encounter. Those who love experimental art or want to rediscover it should experience this event live at the Kunstmuseum Bochum.
