Chinese art collector to open non-profit in London devoted to contemporary Asian art

Chinese art collector and philanthropist Yan Du will open Yan Du Projects (YDP), a non-profit space dedicated to contemporary Asian and Asian diasporic art, in a Grade I-listed townhouse on Bedford Square, London, this October. The venue will host exhibitions, site-specific commissions, public events, and artist residencies, with an opening show by Chinese painter Duan Jianyu. Designed by Hong Kong-based Beau Architects, the space features a modular "suitcase project" interior that respects the building's listed status and reflects diasporic themes. YDP is distinct from Yan's earlier Asymmetry Art Foundation (founded 2019) and her private collection, aiming to promote under-represented Asian artists through flexible, artist-curated programming.
