Yuko Mohri. Entanglements
September 18, 2025 through January 11, 2026

one picture only .:. Along with Schrödinger's cat, a paradoxical creature that may be there and may not at the same time, the word entanglement has been linked to discussions about quantum mechanics for a long time. Can things and people become seriously and necessarily involved and caught, or indeed interact, beyond our perception of space and time? Is this somehow similar to the proverbial butterfly of the chaos theory, the flapping of whose wings makes a tornado being born weeks later, thousands of miles away?
.:. Whether or not Mohri (Kanagawa, 1980) believes in that sort of theoretical physics, or whether the semantic field of the scientific word entanglement fits to her works, would be hard to state. More likely, it's irrelevant. The artist makes things – lamps, fruits, tubes, gloves, keyboards, speakers, stairs... – interact physically, though not always materially. Sounds, humidity, gravity, magnetism, and heat make her shows go on. It's a light, magic, and ironic environment, metaphoric and brilliant at the same time.
.:. Though Mohri (pictured) has long been renowned, and her works were at the heart of the Japan Pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale, this is her first large solo exhibition. The seven installations displayed in the Hangar's Shed can hardly been distinguished from one another, but a map helps and, after all, there's no need to explain every detail, here.
