Embracing the theme ‘Home &amp; Family’, Mount Pavilia’s various community spaces are dotted with bespoke sculptures created by some of Hong Kong’s most talented, including Gao Wei Gang, Kum Chi Keung, Tatiana Trouvé and Jean-Michel Othoniel.&nbsp; These abstract art pieces explore boundless imagination and provide a premise for residents to channel their own inner creativity by engaging with these artworks.

One prime example of such a pinnacle of creativity is the clubhouse, White Yard Club, designed by award-winning architect Minsuk Cho. Equipped with all modern facilities, its architecture still allows it to form a symbiotic relation with the great outdoors. The White Yard Gallery is another such example of architectural genius. Combining art, F&amp;B and leisure, the gallery promotes eco-living while allowing residents to pursue their artistic inclinations at chi art space, where exhibitions are held periodically.

The whole thrust of the project, carefully curated and nurtured by Adrian Cheng, is towards a holistic better lifestyle. Upholding the concept of ‘a garden without boundaries’, Mount Pavilia painstakingly creates a space where humans and nature can cohabit.

In the spirit of harmonious coexistence, the project offers around 340,000 sq. ft of clubhouse and landscape area where residents can jog on the Woodland Trail or can dabble in some agricultural feats at the Urban Farm. In another such nod to eco-friendliness, Mount Pavilia boasts such sustainable features as solar-powered outdoor street lamps, aquaponics and drip irrigation that all contribute to reducing carbon footprints.

Green communities mean a better future for our next generation and Mount Pavilia promises just that through its thoughtful conceptualisation and realisation.

K11 Art Foundation recently hosted a group exhibition called Emerald City that explores the concept of geometry through a cross-section of artistic approaches.

Through 40 artworks spanning a wide range of artistic genres, including painting, sculpture, video, photography, and site-specific installations, the Emerald City exhibition explored how geometry – literally meaning “measurement of the Earth (geo)” – has influenced our imagination of the world.
The idea takes shape from the Neo-Geometric Conceptualism (“Neo-Geo”) art movement of the ‘80s and ‘90s that saw a large-scale reimagining of global connectedness based on geometric patterns.
Emerald City shows the persistence of geometric thoughts in contemporary society by juxtaposing works of renowned artists like Ashley Bickerton, Carl F. Cheng, Keiichi Tanaami, with younger artists like Nik Kosmas, Oscar Chan Yik Long, Mountain River Jump!, Zhang Ruyi and Doris Wong Wai Yin.
Talking to the press, Adrian Cheng, Founder and Honorary Chairman, the K11 Art Foundation, says, “K11 Art Foundation has evolved into a dynamic and autonomous cultural entity within its own right. We are delighted to have forged connections between Chinese contemporary artists and major global institutions in recent years and look forward to continuing to nurture these ongoing relationships. Now is the right time for the Foundation to bring to the fore the extensive academic insight that has been cultivated internally since our inauguration in 2010 and to bring together an exhibition that illustrates the breadth of expertise and unique cultural perspective offered by the Foundation.”
