Opened in autumn 2018, ANOMALY houses three galleries in one. Yamamoto Gendai, Urano and Hashimoto Art Office are three separate entities but converge on one point: their sincere passion for contemporary art.
As well as having a large space for displaying all kinds of artistic creations, the gallery opens the doors of its spacious exhibition area to artists and collaborators who are keen to meet, discuss and work together to develop future projects.
More than a simple art gallery, ANOMALY hopes to break conventions by staging conferences, performances and other events to initiate a dialogue and expand the scope of creativity.
More information about ANOMALY can be found on the gallery’s website.
