Fluxus reimagined: Yuko Mohri and Ei Arakawa-Nash at the Kunstmuseum Bochum

The tour of How We Meet provides insight into an exhibition where sound, movement, readymade, and performance coalesce into a vibrant art experience. At the Kunstmuseum Bochum, Yuko Mohri and Ei Arakawa-Nash encounter each other for the first time as a duo, reacting to works from the museum's Fluxus collection with new installations, performative settings, and poetic thought images.

A parcours between water, light, and everyday objects

Yuko Mohri transforms inconspicuous items such as umbrellas, light bulbs, food, hoses, or fans into site-specific installations. Her works respond to temperature, humidity, light, and the movements of the audience. This creates an exhibition atmosphere where sculpture does not remain static, but is experienced as a choreography of chance, rhythm, and energy.

Fluxus as an attitude: Idea instead of artistic genius

The exhibition is linked to the Fluxus movement, which has rethought art radically since the 1960s: interdisciplinary, experimental, and with simple means. At the Kunstmuseum Bochum, the two artists meet works by Alison Knowles, Geoffrey Hendricks, Daniel Spoerri, Wolf Vostell, and Mauricio Kagel. Thus, the collection is not only shown but also revisited - as an open resonance space for contemporary art and art history.

Ei Arakawa-Nash and the performative dimension

Ei Arakawa-Nash works with people, objects, and images as equal actors. Sound and poetry are central elements of his practice, which navigates between installation, performance, and institutional reflection. In How We Meet, he focuses on systems such as currency, art market, CO2 footprint, and the value of labor. This results in a clever, playful, and highly relevant examination of the works.

Tour as cultural education

The tour offers an in-depth access to curation, artistic strategy, and material aesthetics. It makes visible how the exhibition is structured as a walkable parcours and why the works of Mohri and Arakawa-Nash unfold their special tension precisely in dialogue with the Fluxus collection of the Kunstmuseum. For art enthusiasts, students, and curious visitors, cultural education is tangibly experienced as an aesthetic experience here.

What visitors can expect

This tour is more than just a walk: it invites participants to experience art with all senses - through sound, movement, lightness, and resistance. Those interested in contemporary art, Fluxus, installation, and performance will find an exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Bochum that challenges thinking and perception alike. A visit is definitely worthwhile live on site.
