Hip to be…

“Floating” is all about the price of prosperity!

February 24, 2008 · 1 Comment

There is always a price to pay for things in life. Instead of price tags, Hong Kong fusion artist Cecilia Yu (余詠詩) and professional Scottish Artists are using art to convey the message. It is no secret that China is blooming, but do you want to know the twists of old & new behind it? Check out the exhibition hosted by ChinaNow! in Scotland.

“The slogan: ‘The price of prosperity’- provides the artists with unique reflections about living in the global economy with a focus on China’s economic boom.”

Check out “Floating” at Patriot Hall Gallery in Edinburgh from February 21 to March 5 Opening hours: 12 - 6pm.

Free Admission

A mall that supports artists, Delay No Mall

February 24, 2008 · 1 Comment

The G.O.D. boys Douglas Young and Ben Lau did it again. They turned Hong Kong upside down with the most outrageous party of the year. Bringing together a high energy group of hip hop ballers, fashionistas, the ultra chic underground, and of course, all the pretty boyz. Half naked models all around and if you felt like getting your own kit off a game of strip poker was wide open. 24 Herbs, the edgy cantonese hip hop band kept the crowd crazed while FINDS restaurant made sure endless cocktails flowed down the throats of the super fabs.

The mall was open recently and is going to expand itself to include sleep pods, bars and tattoo parlours. The controversy is that the phrase “Delay no mall” (or G.O.D.’s slogan, Delay no more) sounds similar to “F**K YOUR MOTHER” in Cantonese. That’s why the founders had to explain the name again and again in their videos. Do they intend to offend anyone? You decide.

Shoppers can find ‘Delay No Mall’ at 68 Yee Wo Street , next to the Regal Hotel.
