An exhibition as a lively dialogue of sound, movement, and Fluxus

At the Bochum Art Museum, How We Meet opens a artistic experience that intertwines collection, installation, and performative energy in a rare way. The guided tour in English focuses on an exhibition in which Yuko Mohri and Ei Arakawa-Nash collaborate for the first time and draw inspiration from the museum's Fluxus collection. The path connects water, space, object, sound, and idea into an exhibition atmosphere where viewing artworks becomes an aesthetic experience. The Bochum Art Museum describes the exhibition as a large walkable installation and as a continuation of the Fluxus narrative How We Met.

Fluxus as an open experiment

Since the 1960s, Fluxus has radically changed the concept of art: not the completed masterpiece, but the idea, the process, and the action came to the forefront. This is precisely where the exhibition comes in. Mohri and Arakawa-Nash refer to works by Alison Knowles, Geoffrey Hendricks, George Brecht, Mauricio Kagel, and other positions from the Bochum Art Museum's collection. Thus, the collection is not only shown but actively reinterpreted.

Yuko Mohri: Sound sculpture, material poetry, and controlled coincidences

Yuko Mohri is internationally known for sound installations and kinetic sculptures. The Japan Foundation describes her practice as working with everyday objects that constantly change under varying conditions. In Bochum, this appears in a specially adapted version of Moré Moré, where water leaks, technical interventions, rhythm, and movement create a sensitive choreography. Mohri was born in 1980 in Kanagawa, studied Inter-media Art in Tokyo, and has received, among others, the Nissan Art Award as well as grants and residencies in New York, London, and Paris.

Ei Arakawa-Nash: Performance, collaboration, and social systems

Ei Arakawa-Nash, born in 1977 in Iwaki, works in the field of performance art, combining artistic practice with collective situations, language, and participation. The exhibition reveals how Arakawa-Nash interrogates systems such as the art market, CO2 balance, or labor value and connects performative presence with conceptual sharpness. For 2026, he was announced as the representative of the Japan Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale, emphasizing his international visibility.

The space as a walkable artwork

The Bochum Art Museum emphasizes that the exhibition is designed as a large, walkable installation. Water and electricity, material and space, audience and artwork enter into changing relationships. This is precisely where the fascination of this exhibition lies: It does not demand a distant viewing, but rather an awake, bodily perception. Light, sound, movement, and the architecture of the museum become co-players of the art experience.
