Not content with a 500-plus-work contemporary art collection, the Chinese-born, UK-based collector founded, in 2019, the Asymmetry Art Foundation, a platform to promote Chinese and Sinophone contemporary art. Its London headquarters has an impressively busy programme of workshops, mini-exhibitions, screenings and talks, and even librarians-in-residence. Yan Du extends her advocacy through a series of public institutional partnerships in London, including a curatorial research fellowship at Chisenhale Gallery; a curatorial fellowship at the Whitechapel Gallery; a lecture series at the Courtauld Gallery; a PhD scholarship at Goldsmiths; residencies at the Delfina Foundation; and, new this year, two curatorial positions at Tate Modern. Most recently Asymmetry has been expanding its international footprint, announcing a new curatorial fellowship in partnership with New York’s Sculpture Center. While during the opening of the Venice Biennale, it co-organised (with Asia Forum) A World of Many Worlds, a one-day symposium (on which ArtReview also partnered).
