Elternzeit mit Kunst - How we meet

Every first Thursday of the month, we offer a relaxed guided tour for parents and their little ones (0 - 2 years). We explore the museum together and talk to each other. Breastfeeding, feeding and changing can of course take place at the same time. After the shared art experience, there is the opportunity to chat and get to know each other over a drink in the museum café. You are welcome to bring a baby carriage or baby sling for your child.

Cost: 6 euros per person, participation and a free drink are included in the price. Please register at: kunstvermittlung@bochum.de.

In this exhibition, the two artists Yuko Mohri and Ei Arakawa-Nash work together for the first time and are inspired by works from the Kunstmuseum's Fluxus collection. Both artists are influenced by the Fluxus movement and other experimental art movements. Together, they are creating an idiosyncratic exhibition with works from the Kunstmuseum's Fluxus collection as well as new installations that move between the fields of performance, sound and sculpture. As a response or continuation of the major exhibition How We Met, which will present the new Fluxus strand in the Kunstmuseum's collection for the first time in 2025, Mohri and Arakawa-Nash will select two Fluxus artists from the collection to whose works they will refer in How We Meet : Alison Knowles and Geoffrey Hendricks.

Yuko Mohri will also be showing her installation Moré Moré (Leaky) in a version specially adapted for the Kunstmuseum. Mohri creates kinetic sound sculptures by causing water leaks and attempting to plug them. The work is finished when she succeeds in controlling the leak and returning the water to circulation.

For this exhibition, Ei Arakawa-Nash explores the works in the Fluxus collection, including the^{CO2 emissions} generated by the works and how these can be represented.
