Pete Bradt (b. Cincinnati 1985) was Chief Editor(volunteer) of island6 Arts Center from 2010 to 2011. He is a graduate of Winchester College, UK, and has degrees from the University of Pennsylvania in Film Studies and English.

As Editor, he compiled research for the in-house collective Liu Dao on information relevant to exhibitions such as Libido Mortido and Psychic Apparatus, organized written content from external writers for reviews, and provided in-depth interviews and descriptions for magazines and websites, including Time Out Shanghai and Saatchi Online. He was a Creative Director for island6, using his film and literary conceptual background to help form ideas for Liu Dao and visiting artists. He was the co-curator for the exhibitions Absolute 0:00 and Prophecies, supervising the creation of artworks and installations, and authoring the artistic essays that serve as the bases for the exhibitions.

Pete Bradt was also Public Relations Manager for island6 Arts Center and Liu Dao, serving as international representative to Thailand, Hong Kong and South Korea. He maintained communication with galleries and artists around the world and provided promotion for the young, upcoming artists of Liu Dao.

All of Pete's past tasks have been part of his role as International Correspondent for island6: he is our liaison to the world outside of China. His regular stints in China have been a learning experience, helping him better represent Liu Dao's distinctly Chinese character.
