Yuko Mohri's Kinetic Survey 'Entanglements' Opens at Centro Botín

exhibition · 2026-03-27

From March 28 to September 6, 2026, Centro Botín in Santander will host 'Entanglements,' an exhibition spotlighting Japanese artist Yuko Mohri at a pivotal point in her career. The opening event will feature 'Piano Solo: Costa Quebrada' (2026), where audio of ocean waves triggers a piano sound via speakers. The show will include works from 2004 onward, like 'Flutter' (2018/25), which merges a fish tank with a Yamaha reed organ, and 'I/O' (2011–), a notable installation with scanners and debris. Also on display will be three versions of the 'Moré Moré (Leaky)' series (2018–), including the new 'Moré Moré (Leaky): Fountain' (2025). Two fresh paintings on speaker cover canvas (2025–26) are inspired by Cy Twombly. Mohri’s art blends found objects with Zen ideas and playful Duchamp influences.
