PavilionNOW 2017: COIR
PAVILION
Sept 15,
2017 – March 17, 2018
|
|
|
PavilionNOW is an annual design project by
Shalini Ganendra Fine Art, celebrating Malaysian design
talent through collaboration and innovation. A
premiere, up and coming Malaysian designer or
architect, is invited to create and construct a pavilion at
SGFA’s award winning green building, Gallery Residence
(designed by Ken Yeang). PavilionNOW emphasizes the beauty
and efficacy of local materials used by Malaysian talent
for innovative build.
COIR
Pavilion is the 2017
Edition of the PavilionNOW developed by design firm POW
Ideas, to open on 15th September 2017.
Using modified natural
fibre extracted from coconut husks (coir), POW Ideas has
built a modular, interlocking structure created at the workshop
of Taylor’s University.
Against the backdrop of SGFA’s
sustainable and award-winning Gallery Residence, COIR Pavilion
showcases the potential of coconut fibre and suggests new
artistic dimensions and domestic applications for the common
material.
COIR Pavilion will remain at SGFA’s Gallery
Residence for 6 months, where it aims to become a
cornerstone of inspiration for the multi-disciplinary:
artistic, performance and educational projects. The hope is that
each annual pavilion will be replicated to live on in other
spaces, and continue to inspire generations to come.

ABOUT:
Shalini
Ganendra Fine Art is one of the most
established galleries in Malaysia. Since 1998, SGFA’s
holistic approach to art representation and expertise in the
contemporary art of Asian emerging regions has established the
organisation’s distinctive presence as a placemaker, advisor
and culture pioneer. Educational and research programs led by
SGFA, including PavilionNOW, are important facilitators of
engagement and cross cultural development within, with and

POW
Ideas are an
architecture collaborative based in Kuala Lumpur founded by
Kyle E and Jun Ong. Both trained as architects in Melbourne &
London, but have since explored different trajectories of
interest: Kyle with landscape architecture and Jun with light
art. The name reflects the collective’s attitude towards
projects, i.e. with a ‘POW!’ With
a flair for innovation and material exploration, the collective
strive to challenge assumptions, and to push the limits of
built form across all fields of design.
