island6 is proud and excited to collaborate with Tally Beck Contemporary in New York with the electronic art show "Plugged In". The show captures “a vision of Shanghai that is part real, part imagined. The bright lights of their LED medium reflect the neon soaked skyline of contemporary Shanghai, while the imagery evokes a romanticized impression of the city's colonial past, replete with discomfiting wafts of orientalism and exoticism that is inexorably linked to the collective memory of "The Paris of the East." (Tally Beck Contemporary)
Featuring 14 stunning new pieces including “Rickshaw Going By”, “Qipao Rising” and “Night School” from the island6 art collective Liu Dao 六岛, the show is impeccably curated by Tally Beck, owner of Tally Beck Contemporary and renowned specialist in Asian contemporary art. It opened to great press and glowing reviews in January 2011 and run till March 2011
Over the past year, Tally Beck Contemporary has brought the Liu Dao collective to various major art fairs such as Scope New York in March 2011 and Scope Basel in June 2011. A solo show for 2012, "Sin City - Impressions of Shanghai": New Work by island6, is currently being planned. Curated personally by Tally Beck, it is a continuation of island6's inhouse show "Goddamned Shanghai". Sin City explore the seedier side of life in 1930s Shanghai and draw parallels between the Chinese metropolis and the hustle and bustle of New York.
