Epoxy, formed in 1982 by six New York City artists connected to Hong Kong, used their combined talents to reflect on their diasporic experiences. The collective is part of a broader movement in contemporary art that amplifies Asian and diasporic voices in New York. Recently, Asian galleries have been revitalizing NYC's art scene, with Kiang Malingue opening a new location in the Lower East Side, fostering a dialogue between Asian and American artists. Their inaugural exhibition features Hiroka Yamashita's evocative paintings, representing the gallery's commitment to emerging talent from the Asian diaspora.
"The new location is a 3,500 sq. ft space at 50 Eldridge Street that was formerly an artist's studio. It really goes along with establishing that bridge, that discussion between the two cities and the two continents."
"In the history of contemporary art in New York, Epoxy is one among a series of groups, collectives and institutions that have been active in creating spaces highlighting Asian and diasporic voices."
