Art gallery owner and curator / San Francisco & New York City
Bio:
Ken Harman Hashimoto is a curator, gallerist and arts writer based in New York City. His eponymous gallery space, Hashimoto Contemporary, was founded in San Francisco's Lower Nob Hill neighborhood in 2013. Six years later he expanded with a second location in New York City's Lower East Side. Both galleries present rotating monthly exhibitions featuring solo or group shows with a focus on emerging contemporary artists.
In addition to his regular gallery exhibition schedule, Ken also works as an independent curator with a focus on populist and accessible programming and events. His 2019 partnership with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation resulted in a touring exhibition which traveled to both Taliesin in Spring Green, WI and Taliesin West in Scottsdale, AZ. Upcoming curatorial projects include "Here & Now: A Survey of Contemporary Art" at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art in March 2020.
As an arts writer, Ken has been published extensively in Hi-Fructose Magazine, where he served as online editor from 2010 to 2012. He has authored two compendiums for Abrams Books, "The Wes Anderson Collection, Volume Three: Bad Dads" in 2016 and "My Neighbor Hayao: Art Inspired by the Films of Miyazaki" in 2020. He has contributed essays to "Stickers: Stuck-Up Piece of Crap: From Punk Rock to Contemporary Art" (Rizzoli), Brett Amory, - self titled (Vivant Books), and "Blek Le Rat", the 30 Year Anniversary Retrospective (Vivant Books)
Juried exhibitions include "New Waves" at the Virginia MOCA (2015), "Botanica" at the Bedford Gallery, Lesher Center for the Arts (2015), "LIGHT" at the SF Women's Artist Gallery (2016), and "Left Coast" at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art (2020).
