Kiang Malingue

Step into this light-struck loft on the edge of Chinatown and you’re suspended between Hong Kong and downtown NYC. With giant industrial windows, the space shifts mood hour by hour. Warm when the sun is setting in the West and cool when it is rising in the East.

The artists here build entire worlds you can enter. Sleek, high-gloss video and new media. Cartoon universes that twist and bend to their own rules. Immersive soundscapes drawn from national choirs. Queer explorations of the natural world.

The art holds the same double vision: rooted in where it came from, flying toward what's next — in a neighborhood that's been absorbing and reshaping waves of Asian culture for over a century. That history is right there in the walls. So is the future.

We love an unlikely love story. And this place carries it. Founded in 2010 in Hong Kong by Edouard Malingue and Lorraine Kiang, the gallery opened the New York space on Eldridge Street in 2025. Lorraine Kiang built her expertise in Chinese ceramics and art at Christie's. Malingue comes from a French art-dealing family that spent decades introducing European art to the Asian market. Together, they've championed a generation of artists from across Asia and its diaspora whose careers grew up alongside the gallery.
