Liu Dao Art Collective (六岛)
Liu Dao is a Shanghai-based collective of artists, art directors, curators, writers, and tech-geeks who share a passion for incorporating cutting edge technology into artwork. The group remains spontaneous by working under a single moniker to recognize the team’s actions as a whole. The CV reflects this sense of communal identity by listing degrees and achievements without linking them to specific members of the collective.

PRODUCTION PROCESS
The art collective is sponsored by island6 Arts Center, an art gallery and production studio in Shanghai’s Moganshan Road art district, M50. The Arts Center provides all materials and hires the necessary skilled labor or technicians to assist art production. At island6, all the work exhibited is made on site and specifically for the theme of a trimestral show.
The collective works on a flexible open platform process that ensures all artworks are the result of synergetic thought between multiple collaborators. Brainstorming takes place in the form of conversation, written statements, spontaneous film shoots, and experimentation with prototypes. After curators conceptualise a theme, the artists create pieces specific to the theme of the exhibition. Through this close collaborative process there is an ongoing dialogue between curator, art director and artist.

PEOPLE
The island6 team consists of artists, art directors, curators and guest curators as well as a technical team. When the collective is not making art, each individual helps in running the exhibition space.
The collective regularly invites performers and guest curators to come onboard for individual artworks or themed shows. The collective has ranged from 6 to 26 people since its inception in 2006.

About island6 ARTS CENTER
island6 Arts Center is an artist-founded platform, managed by devoted creative staff and based in Shanghai with a production site and an adjoining gallery for the cutting-edge, new media artwork of the Liu Dao art collective. Every "art forward" island6 exhibition is the product of multi-disciplined, collaborative in-house workshops.
The history of the center dates back to 2006, when it was founded by Thomas Charvériat in a rehabilitated flour mill warehouse on Moganshan Road. Since then, it has occupied various locations and has set up partnerships with several galleries in Beijing, Hong Kong, Paris, Bangkok, Singapore and New York. The Liu Dao collective primarily creates LED artworks, interactive installations, photography, video art and sculptures. Liu Dao explores the cultural potential of the convergence of art, technology and science, and promotes cross-cultural dialogue through their unique collaborative philosophy.
