Yuko Mohri's Exhibition Catalog Features Biographical Manga Insert

Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan published a catalog for Yuko Mohri's solo exhibition 'Entanglements', which closed earlier this year. Curated by Fiammetta Griccioli and Vicente Todolí, the publication includes a 24-page manga insert titled 'Yuko and the Unnamed' by Ran Kurumi. This biographical comic covers formative moments in Mohri's career, from early trips to New York and Akihabara's electronics districts to her 2024 Japanese Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. The main catalog alternates between critical essays and the artist's own translated texts, where she reflects on works like 'Vexations c.i.p.' (2005), inspired by Erik Satie's 1893 composition. A glossary organizes key terms from her practice, while critic Ryo Sawayama notes her installations function like musical instruments. The catalog avoids fixing Mohri's mutable installations, instead providing tools to navigate her sound-based work.
