New Shanghai residency space in art and fashion

As reported in The Art Newspaper, November 2025 will see the launch of the new Shanghai artist residency and exhibition space Cheruby House. The venue will open on 8 November, ahead Shanghai Art Week (10-16 November), with a solo show of its first resident.

As founder, the Chinese collector Cherry Xu, says ‘Fashion offers metaphors, gestures, and temporality,’ Xu says. Its discourses ‘can shift questions around visibility and value more quickly traditional art world discourses can achieve. It is a powerful lever’. Cheruby House is located at 758 Changle Lu in a 1939 heritage building, designed by the Hua Gai architectural firm for the banker Ye Jingkui.

The centre will host three residencies and shows per year, with the multidisciplinary Thai artist Tanat Teeradakorn slated for 2026. Xu envisions the project as more interdisciplinary than the city’s existing spaces merging art and fashion, informed by her time as a 2024 collector residency at the Delfina Foundation, and filling the gap in support systems and cross-cultural and cross-discipline conversations.
