Five years ago, Shihui Zhou established Latitude Gallery in the heart of Chinatown with the aim of creating a platform for emerging talents and a focus on artists from the Asian diaspora. With a program driven by community engagement and cross-cultural dialogue, Latitude Gallery soon became a regular presence on the international art fair circuit, recognized for its boundary pushing solo and group shows.
Now, Latitude Gallery steps into its next chapter in a new space in Tribeca. To inaugurate it, collaborator Neil Jiang has curated the group show “Birth of the Between,” on view through October 25, 2025.
Jiang first began following the gallery’s program roughly three years ago, and as a collector and friend of the gallery, is an apropos choice for the debut show’s curator. “When Shihui told me she was opening a new space in Tribeca, I was honored to be invited to curate the very first show,” Jiang commented.
“Especially this year—with so many New York galleries downsizing or closing—Latitude Gallery did the opposite: they expanded. Not just once, but multiple times, going way beyond the footprint of the previous space. It’s a bit crazy, a bit fearless, and exactly the kind of energy the NYC art scene urgently needs right now.
This kind of move sends a strong signal: a belief in artists, in collectors, and in the future of the art market. It’s uplifting and motivating to so many in the industry. Latitude must be doing something right!”
