KAWS’ first institutional exhibition in Korea, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS, will be presented at Space K, Seoul. While friendship implies an actively chosen relationship, neighbours are brought into each other’s lives by chance. Through the lens of these familiar connections and social dynamics, KAWS reveals both the tenderness and the challenges of living alongside others.

KAWS’s work is included in HARD EDGE(D), a group exhibition at Kunstmuseum Schloss Derneburg. Installed within the museum’s historic Haupteingang and Rittersaal, the exhibition explores the evolution of ‘hard edge’ painting over the last six decades, while contemporising the castle's grand and decorative spaces in new and surprising ways.

KAWS’ institutional solo show KAWS: FAMILY opens at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art on 15 November 2025. Marking KAWS’ first major museum exhibition on the West Coast, KAWS: FAMILY traces the artist’s output over the past three decades. Bringing together drawing, painting, sculpture, advertising interventions and product collaborations, the exhibition takes its title and thematic jumping-off point from KAWS’ sculpture FAMILY, 2021, which unites the artist’s iconic characters, CHUM, COMPANION, and BFF, posed in the style of a family portrait. Borrowing from popular animated characters and cultural icons, KAWS’ characters recontextualise familiar imagery, creating a dialogue around cultural memory and contemporary life.
