KOBO Seattle | since 1995

From July 12-August 2, 2025, we are featuring Japanese art collective Art Beasties and their latest collaborative work titled, FENAMENA, in our gallery space in Japantown and online. Founded in New York in 2013, the members are based internationally in New York, Seattle, London, Kobe, and Tokyo.

FENAMENA
When we come home to an empty house, we would still say, “I’m home.” There’s no one there to reply, and yet, something lingers in the space—an invisible presence, 

A quiet stillness conveys to us that something is there.

That presence is what we call FENAMENA.

The artists in this show: Junko Yamamoto; Kakeru Asai; Maho Hikino; Masaya Nakayama; Yoshiyuki Paul Komada; Yuki Nakamura.
