Block Party!
Leo Tolstoy once wrote “Spring is the time of plans and projects” and never too true a word was spoken. We may still be recovering from the Body-City-Mechanism Vernissage and preparing for our exhibitions in Hong Kong, Bangkok and Beijing, but any excuse to party and show some people our art is ok with us....
Body-City-Mechanism Vernissage & Garden Party
April 25th was D-Day for the island6 art collective. We’ve been fortunate enough to have been kept really, rather, very busy over the past month. Having just opened a show at island6 HK, made our debut at HK Art Walk and as The Art of Wu Wei opened in Bangkok on the same night as...
An artwork a day keeps the doctor away…or again: THE BIRDS!
The weather situation in Shanghai has been troubling the island6 creatives much like little birds not knowing if to come back from their southern escape destination or extend their stay far away from our beloved city. Allowedly, the birds have above all some other concerns at the moment. But we at the island decided for...
It´s gettin´ hot in here…
Being super busy preparing the artworks for the upcoming exhibitions, we’ve spent the last couple of days shooting like crazy. And they were definitely crazy, our beloved visitors and contributors Nick, Nino & Wang Yang amazed the entire island with their tricks, twists and hippety hops. ...
The BIRDS!!
We at Liu Dao have been known for incorporating all sort of animals in our digital artworks. The last pet through our doors was ‘pudding’ the pug, and there’s currently a sizeable tank of LED goldfish in the middle of the island6 gallery. Today we played host to a pair of feathered friends. Ever since...

The Making of “Garden Beneath the Streetlights”

The Art of Food
Two worlds are about to collide and we think this could be a very tasty collaboration indeed. Island6 are extending their gallery space so during the next two years you shall see the works of Liu Dao adorning the walls of Red Door Restaurant on the Bund. The recipe for this creative delicacy involves a...
Lights, Camera, ACTION!
Well we’re no stranger to shoots at island6, and our latest model was more of the furry on four legs type of beauty. She was called 小布丁 or Little Pudding, true enough to her name she was a very sweet dog indeed with star quality. Twas but a chance meeting that brought her our way...

‘Tis the season!
Although it’s quite warm outside for the middle of December (18 degrees!!!), you can’t help but notice that Christmas is definitely around the corner. Whether it be the decoration (sometimes very tacky) you see everywhere, or the millionth time you hear jingle bells in the most unusual of places (a hole in the wall bike...
