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...
Walk This Way….
On an early evening in Hong Kong, island6 was quiet, a little too quiet…. Then BAM! Thousands of art walkers took to Hong Kong’s streets and despite the April showers and the elements being in full force, we still had a great turnout at the annual HK Artwalk 2013. What once started in 2001 as...
Need.Want.Hunt Opening Party at island6 Hong Kong!
On March 28th, island6 Hong Kong opened its 3rd in house exhibition, featuring acrobatic artworks, smoking beauties, some hot and heavy Hong Kong rain and one delicious roasted pig’s head.

The Making of “Garden Beneath the Streetlights”
It has been a wonderful and busy year here so far at Island6- new exhibitions being held, artwork being made and new friendships being forged to name a few. And what a lovely way to bring in the New Year than by taking a trip to warm and beautiful Auckland, NZ? While not all of...
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...

‘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...
You’re Invited!

Sponsored by the good folks over at Abbelio Wines, an extension of our animal-themed show made its way to No. 1 New Street, Sheung Wan with a zoo-like cacophony. The Cat that...
The Purrr-fect Opening Party: The Cat that Eats Diodes Premiered Oct 27th
An overcast sky and chilly wind did not get in the way of island6′s feline-fatale. On Oct 27th, island6 opened its 50th in-house exhibition, featuring several scaled, winged and furred friends. The Cat that Eats Diodes was a soft, cheeky exploration of digital-meets-natural, and showcased the collective’s signature LED animations, Chinese papercutting, stainless steel sculpture,...
