The Archives of Asian American Artist and Collector Arlan Huang

For almost sixty years, longtime Chinatown resident Arlan Huang has operated as an artist and collector, and amassed a large collection of work from Asian American artists while he operated his framing shop, Squid Frames. The archive includes photographs by the late Corky Lee. In the 1970s, Huang was also a member of the Basement Workshop, a loose collective of Chinatown artists and activists inspired by the Black Panther Party. A new exhibition at Pearl River Mart displays pieces from the collection, and Arlan Huang alongside curator Danielle Wu join to talk about the show. Just Between Us: From the Archives of Arlan Huang is on view through August 27.
