An art experience between water, sound, and Fluxus

The tour through Yuko Mohri & Ei Arakawa-Nash – How We Meet opens a perspective on an exhibition that makes art an experiential living process rather than a silent object. At the Bochum Art Museum, installation, performance, and sculpture come together in a multifaceted path that sheds new light on Fluxus as a space for thinking and experience.

Reimagining Fluxus: Art as Encounter

The starting point of the exhibition is the museum's Fluxus collection, shaped by artists such as Alison Knowles, George Brecht, Geoffrey Hendricks, and Mauricio Kagel. The curation does not focus on isolated mastery but on the open event, the experiment, the idea. This transforms the museum space itself into a stage for an art experience where material, movement, and audience interact.

Yuko Mohri: Kinetic Systems Full of Poetry

Yuko Mohri, born in 1980 in Kanagawa, works with installations and sculptures that respond to changing conditions. Everyday items like umbrellas, light bulbs, hoses, paper rolls, or food are transformed into site-specific arrangements, choreographed by light, temperature, humidity, and movements in the space. Her works create a fragile, precisely composed exhibition atmosphere between mechanics and chance.

Ei Arakawa-Nash: Performance, Sound, and Collective Thinking

Ei Arakawa-Nash, born in 1977 in Fukushima and currently based in Los Angeles, combines installation and performance with music, poetry, and participatory structures. His practice connects to Gutai and Fluxus and critically and playfully examines systems like money, labor value, and carbon footprint. In How We Meet, his works encounter Mohri's and the house's Fluxus heritage in an unusually direct way.

A Journey for Attentive Engagement with Art

The exhibition is experienced as a walkable installation where water, electricity, apple, space, and sound merge into an aesthetic experience. Mohri presents a version of Moré Moré (Leaky Tokyo), while Arakawa-Nash develops new works and performative formats. The tour sharpens the view for the interaction of sculpture, installation, and action, making visible how contemporary art translates societal questions into sensory forms.

What Visitors Can Expect

Those attending this tour will not experience a classic overview but a lively approach to an exhibition that intelligently connects art history, the present, and mediation. How We Meet invites you to look, listen, and think with all your senses. A visit to the Bochum Art Museum promises inspiring insights into Fluxus, current installations, and the power of collective perception.
