About the exhibition – A Treasure Expedition
Curated and produced by K11 Craft & Guild Foundation, A Treasure Expedition encapsulates the cultural discovery at K11 ARTUS with a one-of-a-kind mysterious exploration of age-old treasures. The sensational journey, a perfect blend of heritage and modern living, offers an unforgettable experience with a glimpse into fast-disappearing Chinese works of art. In a thoughtfully curated contemporary setting, we reimagine the aristocrats’ taste of living to evoke the affection for quality lifestyle with refined craftsmanship.
About K11 Craft & Guild Foundation
Founded by cultural entrepreneur Adrian Cheng in 2018, the K11 Craft & Guild Foundation (KCG) is a registered arts and culture charity in Hong Kong.
KCG was founded with the aim of conserving and rejuvenating fast disappearing Chinese artisanship, while Creating Shared Value (CSV) for society. Adrian Cheng believes that the power of business lies not only in generating profits, but also in supporting and empowering other stakeholders in the community. He believes that this new vision will have a sustainable and positive impact on the local community.
At KCG, artisanship can be seen in many different fields. In architecture, for example, techniques of wooden architecture and plaster moulding are being preserved. In ceramics, guangcai ceramic wares originally made in the early Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) in Guangzhou, featuring delicate patterns and bright colours, are being recreated. Baibaoqian furniture originating in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), a craft that is fast disappearing due to the difficult engraving that requires very skilful artists, is once again being made. The same is true of Luodian lacquerware, decorated with rare shells, gold and silver, that was popular in the Ming Dynasty.
