Epoxy Art Group
Founded in 1982 by Ming Fay and five other artists from Hong Kong (Jerry Kwan, Kwok Mang Ho, Bing Lee, Kang Lok Chung, and Eric Chan), Epoxy Art Group was an art collective active from 1982 to 1992 that offered a supportive community for Chinese American artists living in New York City.
The name "Epoxy" was chosen to represent the hypothetical "gluing" of Eastern and Western cultural experiences through art. Over time, the group evolved into a platform for collaborative projects that explored cross-cultural perspectives and fostered dialogue between Asian and Western artistic traditions. Epoxy exhibited at numerous venues, including the Asian American Arts Centre (1988), the Alternative Museum (1987), and Kwok Gallery (1983). Works by members of the collective are held in the collections of the New Museum and New York University's Asian/Pacific/American Institute.
