NSIDE/OUT welcomes Japanese artist Yuki Okumura whose solo exhibition is currently held at Secession, Vienna, for a lecture followed by a conversation with Mathieu Copeland. Okumura’s eponymous exhibition at the Secession explores the empty state of its venue, the vast ground-floor space called Hauptraum, which is said to be the first white cube in history. https://secession.at/ausstellung_yuki_okumura_en But no, it is not that he is presenting it literally as an empty room. Rather, the artist conceived three site-specific procedures structured through chance-oriented instructions and asked former and current staff members to play them out. Activating subjective memory and collective anticipation that fill the space as well as its architectural details and structures that invite potential actions, those game-like processes generated new narratives, objects, and situations. In this lecture, while reflecting on his project for Secession, Okumura will discuss how an empty exhibition space is not devoid but full of life — especially when it comes to a historical room like the Hauptraum — and how one can serve as an agent or translator for such a non-human organism by lending one’s body and life to it in an egoless manner, as a holistic being. Yuki Okumura was born in 1978 in Aomori, Japan. Fascinated by one's confinement to a particular body and informed by his own experience as a translator, Okumura's work questions identity, individuality, and egocentrism by exploring language, memory, and chance, developing a new approach to the legacies of conceptual art, institutional critique, and action painting. Currently, his solo exhibition Yuki Okumura is being held at Secession, Vienna, which includes Big White Playground, a group exhibition he curates featuring site-specific works by various workers of the institution. Recent solo exhibitions include 136 Locations – 956 Intersections, 20 Albert Road, Glasgow, 2024 (organized by Cento) and The Man Who, An Ephemeral Archive, Keio University Art Center, Tokyo, 2019. Recent group exhibitions include Unguided Tour, Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, 2025; u – New Project Spaces, Kunsthalle Zurich Backrooms, 2024; Aichi Triennale 2022, Aichi Arts Center, Aichi, 2022; and Landslide to be lived off and/or tongues to be deadpan, MISAKO & ROSEN, Tokyo, 2021.

Lara and Genell invite you to join them at Good Medicine Collective for an evening of deep nourishment. The evening will be a ceremony guiding ourselves back to our centers using movement, sauna, cold plunge, and reflection in community. These evenings are intentionally held on or near the new (dark) moon and during the darkest months of the year. This ritual offers an opportunity to gaze within and claim intentions for the coming moon cycle. Women have been gathering to honor the phases of the moon for thousands of years. Let us keep this practice alive through connection, movement, light nourishment, and the healing waters of the sauna and cold plunge. Information Source: Lara Turnure Healing Arts | eventbrite
