HONG KONG, July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MTR Malls have long championed culture and the arts. As the landmark shopping destination in Island South, THE SOUTHSIDE at Wong Chuk Hang MTR Station is currently hosting the "THE SOUTHSIDE Chill Party" this summer, starting 9 July. Renowned artist Han Ray has created bespoke art installations throughout the mall, cultivating a laid-back and delightful "Chill" lifestyle. This initiative aspires to offer customers an artistic and immersive shopping experience, further cementing THE SOUTHSIDE's status as a cultural and lifestyle landmark.

To amplify the summer vibes, the mall is holding evening concerts on six Fridays throughout July and August. These events feature live performances by several popular singers, including Wilson Ng Lam Fung, Terence SiuFay, Mag Lam, Jason Chan, Andy Leung Chiu Fung, On Chan, JW, Deep Ng, and Jeffrey Ngai, creating a chill ambiance through music.

Additionally, the quadrennial international sports event will take place in Paris, France, at the end of July. THE SOUTHSIDE's LG Atrium will broadcast the exciting competitions live, allowing everyone to immerse themselves in the vibrant sports atmosphere and cheer for the athletes representing Hong Kong.

Han Ray's debut exhibition in Hong Kong promotes a chill, relaxed lifestyle, inspired by his leisurely strolls through Island South.

Han Ray, an architect, contemporary artist, and digital artist, was born in Shenyang and has held exhibitions in Italy, Beijing, Shanghai, and other cities. He is known for his humorous and relaxed artistic style, encouraging people to find joy in everyday life and enjoy living. This collaboration with THE SOUTHSIDE marks Han Ray's first exhibition in Hong Kong. Having spent part of his childhood in Hong Kong, Han Ray drew inspiration for this project from the Southern District of Hong Kong. The art installations, centered around "Chill Man", a youth chasing dreams, combine the unique characteristics of the Southern District with everyday life, allowing everyone to experience the laid-back lifestyle of the area and participate in "THE SOUTHSIDE Chill Party".

Details of the five art installations:

The laid-back Chill Man, with a coffee in hand, leisurely appreciates the blend of old and new in the Southern District, seizing a moment of relaxation amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Inspired by the natural beauty of the Southern District, artist Han Ray incorporates elements like trees, flowers, and greenery to craft an atmosphere of lush blooms. This evokes a sense of relaxation and tranquillity, providing a serene and delightful experience.

The Southern District boasts an endless coastline, offering the joy of fishing while listening to melodious tunes amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
