ABOUT

Liu Dao’s first ever solo exhibition, Garden of Autumn Vapours, is shown in Red Gate Gallery during August, 2010, bringing in the lìqiū立秋, the beginning of autumn in the Chinese calendar.
Nature’s cosmic breath of life is no better understood nor appreciated than by the Chinese scholar, lost in a bamboo grove, for the garden is a natural landscape for some, and a sanctuary of social contemplation for others. The garden is a skeletal world of Taizu stone, providing strength for the weary and offering courage to the weak. From its playful peonies, and lavish plums, lessons have been learned in the art of leisure, truly, the Mother of all philosophies.
Like the Chinese garden, the works in this exhibition were born first from the tender branches of innocence, peace and tranquility.
With LEDs, the network of electronic life inside each frame is homage to China’s cultural interconnectivity, and a replica of roots, veins and neurons found in nature. Liu Dao presents the nation’s miraculous developments in the forms of blinking, majestic butterflies, brightly shining goldfish swaying ponderously along bonsai trees, and glinting sparrows darting across the sun.

ABOUT

In the same way the earliest forms of eyes were born in the Cambrian Explosion half a billion years ago as only simple proteins that could sense light, our sense of time might be utterly primitive to what is to come. Those moments of déjà vu where two distinct places -the past and the present- merge could be the first speckles of a new mental capability in development that will allow us to experience the past, present and future in ways currently incomprehensible. The art of Liu Dao is especially relevant to these themes because of the group’s use of time lapse video, narrative LED work, motifs of change, odes to the eternal, and always-evolving quest for contemporary artistic approaches. Absolute Zero features the artists of island6 Arts Center as they battle with the nature of time’s mysteries and consider the musings and breakthroughs of time’s questioners from 5th Century St. Augustine to contemporary theoretical physicist Michio Kaku.

island6 Arts Center is an artist-founded, artist-run, "art first" not-for-profit organization founded in Shanghai in 2006. The center is dedicated to identifying emerging artists and encouraging them through risk-taking programs that explore new curatorial models and innovative projects. island6's mission is to provide a forum and support for contemporary artists whose works examine timely and timeless social, aesthetic, and philosophical issues. Since 2006, island6 Arts Center has exhibited 198 artists from 21 different countries, sponsored 110 resident artists, organized 39 exhibitions, and initiated over 1900 art projects. In 2007, under the artistic direction of Thomas Charvériat & Zane Mellupe, island6 Arts Center established Liu Dao-- a research group including artists, engineers, and technicians devoted to developing technological platforms for the Arts. Liu Dao explores the cultural ramifications of the convergence of art, technology, and science and strives to influence the aesthetic trajectory of the global artist community. Every "art forward" island6 exhibition is the product of multi-disciplined, collaborative in-house workshops.
