THE SUPER GROUP
Cone9Colab is a Wabi-Sabi art collective based in New Jersey bringing together artists, communities, and ideas through collaborative exhibitions, workshops, and events.
Robert Diken, John Marron, and Simon Keller are the founding member artist of Cone9Colab which was born from our belief that art is most powerful when it is made together, experienced together, and rooted in the beauty of imperfection.
One of the things that makes Cone9Colab unique is our open chair policy. For select events we invite special guest artists to join the collective — artists whose work and philosophy align with the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic and who bring something unexpected to the table. These collaborations keep our work fresh, unpredictable, and alive. Like a pop-up super group, no two Cone9Colab events are exactly the same.

WHAT WE DO
WORKSHOPS / Performances
Hands-on collaborative experiences including Clay Dancing, Sumi-e ink drawing, tea ceremony, assemblage, and walking meditation. Each event is customized for the occasion and location.
ART EXHIBITIONS
Gallery shows and pop-up exhibitions featuring the work of the core collective and invited guest artists — think of it as a visual super group.
EDUCATIONAL TALKS
Intimate discussion groups to bring to light the Wabi-Sabi philosophy and how embracing this aesthetic will bring an enlightened mindset for embracing the fleeting beauty of life.
Cone9Colab regularly invites special guest artists to join our events — expanding the collective's voice and bringing fresh perspectives to the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic.
