Kiang Malingue

What Kiang Malingue does

Kiang Malingue is a privately-held contemporary art gallery founded in 2010 in Hong Kong, with a second gallery space opened in New York in May 2025. The gallery represents 39+ artists working in video, painting, sculpture, and mixed media, drawn from Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia (Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand), Europe (France, Germany, UK), and North America. The represented roster includes artists with institutional traction at venues such as Centre Pompidou, M+, and international biennales (e.g., Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Samson Young, Ho Tzu Nyen, Su-Mei Tse, Tiffany Chung, Tromarama).

The gallery's core products are artist representation, exhibition curation and management (solo and group shows at its two physical spaces), and a large online artist video archive. Its go-to-market is a hybrid of direct sales through physical gallery viewings in Hong Kong and New York, plus regular participation in tier-1 international art fairs (Art Basel Basel/Hong Kong/Paris, Frieze Seoul, Art Collaboration Kyoto). Marketing reach is supported by a bilingual (English/Chinese) website, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, WeChat, and an email newsletter.

Revenue is generated through private, negotiated sales of artworks to high-net-worth private collectors, museums and public institutions, and corporate collectors — pricing is not publicly listed. The business is founder/family-led (the gallery's combined "Kiang" and "Malingue" naming convention reflects this), with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external funding. The gallery was previously known as Edouard Malingue Gallery, indicating a recent rebrand. There is no disclosed revenue, no public ticker, and no patent or technology platform — Kiang Malingue operates as a traditional, relationship-driven art commerce business.
