How can a body bring a distant catastrophe closer?

Last Saturday, Eiko Otake presented ‘A Body in Fukushima’ at Mudam, bringing her movement-based practice into dialogue with the memory of a landscape transformed by the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown.

Through a gesture, a movement or a moment of stillness, Otake explored the relationship between the body, place and collective memory. Developed through her repeated visits to Fukushima between 2014 and 2019, the work invites us to reconsider the distance we place between ourselves and the catastrophes of our time. The body can become a witness, connecting us to places and experiences beyond our immediate reach.

A gesture can carry a history.

In ‘FOR EVER’, Christine Sun Kim gives monumental form to an American Sign Language sign across four turquoise canvases. Their colour is associated with Deaf communities and symbols of access, while the pavilion’s chapel-like architecture lends the work a sense of permanence.

Kim reflects on how language holds memory and culture, and how Deaf communities have endured attempts to ban sign languages, discrimination and erasure. The work honours their resilience and continued presence, inviting Deaf and hearing audiences to consider whose histories are seen and remembered.

Visit ‘FOR EVER’ at Mudam through 10 January 2027.

Meet Ivo: a q***r Bulgarian singer, songwriter and painter in constant transformation, moving between dresses and wigs and camouflage. In ‘In Hell with Ivo’, director Kristina Nikolova follows him through the pandemic as he entertains audiences with his high-pitched voice and meets hostility with infectious optimism.

Join us for a screening followed by an online Q&A with the director, as part of CinEast Film Festival.
Today 18 October, 15:00–16:30
Bulgarian with English subtitles

Art, philosophy and nature meet in the radical work of the OHO group, an avant-garde movement that emerged in Yugoslavia in the 1960s. Drawing on previously unpublished archival material, ‘OHO Film’ brings the group’s vision to life and reveals why its ideas still resonate today.

Join us for a screening with scriptwriter and researcher Urška Jurman, also as part of CinEast Film Festival.

What can rhythm make us hear differently?

This weekend, composer and percussionist Midori Takada brings an intimate solo concert to Mudam. Drawing on rhythms from around the world and the meditative qualities of Japanese ceremonial music, her compositions move between percussion and minimalism. Through repetition, structure and space, she creates hypnotic sound environments that invite us to listen beyond musical categories.

In Mudam Journal, artists BuBu de la Madeleine and Yoshiko Shimada speak with Yurika Imaseki about how art can confront silenced histories without fixing them into a single narrative.

The conversation took place on the occasion of their participation in the exhibition Kaihō – Japanese Women Artists after 1945 at Mudam Luxembourg (25 September 2026 – 14 February 2027).

How can performance bring a distant catastrophe closer?

In ‘A Body in Fukushima’, Eiko Otake places herself in relation to a landscape transformed by the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown. Between 2014 and 2019, she returned to Fukushima five times with photographer and collaborator William Johnston, performing in the changed landscape for the camera. Each iteration takes a different form, shaped by its setting and community.

At Mudam, Otake brings the work into the immediate gaze of the audience, connecting Fukushima with elsewhere and inviting us to reconsider our sense of distance from the major catastrophes of our time.

Presented as part of ‘A Journey’.

The catalogue “Kaihō: Japanese Women Artists after 1945” explores the contributions of Japanese women artists to global art movements, from the postwar period to the turn of the twenty-first century.

Taking its title from the Japanese word for “breaking free”, Kaihō brings together the work of 39 artists from Japan and its global communities – from Ruth Asawa, Yayoi Kusama and Tomie Ohtake to Atsuko Tanaka and Yoko Ono. The publication examines their radical yet often overlooked contributions to postwar and contemporary art.

Featuring more than 300 images and texts by an international group of scholars and curators, Kaihō explores themes including feminism, Fluxus, Gutai and transnational artistic exchanges, offering new perspectives on Japanese visual culture and the artists who shaped it.

Available at Mudam Store.

The 1980s didn’t end in 1989.

Stretching from the late 1970s into the early 1990s, the ‘long 1980s’ transformed the role of images, technology, and aesthetics in culture and politics—and its influence continues to shape the present.

‘Video Killed the Radio Star: The 1980s and their Cultural Echoes’ brings together works by artists including Jack Goldstein, Cindy Sherman, Martin Margiela, Leigh Bowery, Daniel Buren and Martin Wong. Moving from staged portraiture, fashion and institutional critique to the end of the Cold War and the emergence of globalisation, the exhibition explores a period when images began to overtake voices and access replaced ownership.

At its centre, archival material traces the shift from mass consumerism to the attention economy – a transition that continues to shape our algorithmic feeds, online intimacy and post-truth politics.

Final week: see the exhibition before it closes on Sunday 11 October 2026.
