In addition to solo exhibitions, the gallery is recognised for its support of public art projects and stimulating artistic discourse through collaborations with curators worldwide. In January 2015, the gallery expanded and moved to new premises in Central, Hong Kong and in November 2016, the gallery opened its new space in Shanghai.
Background
In 2010 the gallery debuted with the largest solo exhibition of Pablo Picasso in Hong Kong. Notable exhibitions since then include the first solo shows in Hong Kong of minimalist Scottish painter Callum Innes, Chinese painter Yuan Yuan, French conceptual artist Laurent Grasso, draughtsman and sculptor Fabien Mérelle, Cuban collective Los Carpinteros and Indonesian collective Tromarama, amongst others.
The gallery furthermore represents established and emerging Western and Asian artists Eric Baudart, Chou Yu-Cheng, Cui Xinming, Jeremy Everett, Ko Sin Tung, Nuri Kuzucan, João Vasco Paiva, Sun Xun, Janaina Tschäpe, Wang Wei, Wang Zhibo, Wong Ping and Samson Young.
Space
Edouard Malingue Gallery's first space opened in 2010 was designed by Office for Metropolitan Architecture Asia (Hong Kong) led by internationally renowned architect Rem Koolhaas.
In January 2015, the gallery expanded twice in size and moved to a new space, occupying an entire floor, designed by the Hong Kong-based firm BEAU Architects.
In November 2016, the gallery opened its space in Shanghai, designed by BEAU Architects. Located in the West Bund, the 270 sqm space is set in a new art hub where two private museums, art galleries, collector spaces and the West Bund Art & Design fair are situated.
Public Projects
Edouard Malingue Gallery has gained critical acclaim for its off-site projects, bringing artworks into the public realm of Hong Kong. Key examples are Zhang Huan's monumental sculpture 'Three Heads Six Arms' at 1881 Heritage, Tsim Sha Tsui (2011), Laurent Grasso's installation 'Anechoic Pavilion' atop Central Pier 4 (2012), Fabien Mérelle's life-size sculpture 'Pentateuque' in Statue Square (2013), Jeremy Everett's performance 'Color Pump' atop Central Pier 4 (2014) and João Vasco Paiva's monumental installation 'Mausoleum' at Art Basel Hong Kong, Encounters (2015).
In 2014, the gallery launched its first international off-site group project 'Never odd or eveN' with Taiwanese curator Esther Lu in Taipei Artist Village. Further projects since then have included Yuan Yuan's solo show 'There is no there there' at Malingue, Paris in 2015 and João Vasco Paiva's public project 'Unlimited' in collaboration with Media Art Asia Pacific along the Brisbane River in 2015-16.
Special Projects
International curators are invited to the gallery to collaborate on exhibitions. In September 2013, the gallery presented 'Sneakerotics', a show curated by Robin Peckham, which centered on the parallel life of the California dream in Hong Kong. In June 2015, it presented 'Balance Sheets', a group show curated by Kit Hammonds exploring the relationship between art and economics, followed by 'Clamour Can Melt Gold', curated by Inti Guerrero to address the representation, cultural value and economy around the extraction of gold.
Publications & Public Engagement
Exhibition catalogues are regularly created with images and essays written by leading arts practitioners, ranging from curators and writers to biennale and museum directors, such as Istanbul Modern, Drawing Center NY, Istanbul Biennale, ICA La Salle Singapore, Royal College of Art, Artforum, University of Oxford, etc.
Furthermore, the gallery actively organises public talks moderated by arts practitioners and hold school and university group tours, the ultimate aim being to cultivate, build and sustain a long-term visual arts appreciation in Hong Kong.
