Fluxus as an open system of encounter

The starting point is the large Fluxus show How We Met, in which the Bochum Art Museum presented the donation of Fluxus works from the late gallerist Inge Baecker for the first time. Mohri and Arakawa-Nash build on this and develop an exhibition as a parcours, where water, money, and salad emerge as poetic guiding motifs. The result is an art experience that prioritizes process, movement, and communication over the finished object.

Yuko Mohri: Sound, Readymade, and sensitive installations

Yuko Mohri, born in 1980 in Kanagawa and living in Tokyo, creates installations and sculptures that react to surroundings, light, temperature, and humidity. Everyday objects like umbrellas, light bulbs, rolls of paper, food, and fans become site-specific arrangements that resemble machines or miniature ecosystems. Her work combines kinetic sculpture, sound, and readymade culture into an aesthetic experience that remains constantly in flux.

Ei Arakawa-Nash: Performance, poetry, and collective energy

Ei Arakawa-Nash, born in 1977 in Fukushima and living in Los Angeles, works performatively and understands people, objects, and artworks as equal actors. His practice draws from Fluxus and Gutai, from music, poetry, and the living moment of performance. International exhibitions and biennale appearances, including the Japanese Pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale, mark his current artistic visibility.
