Liu Dao

Liu Dao (a Pinyin phrase meaning "island number 6" - simplified Chinese: ; pinyin: Liù dao, Mandarin:   is an international multidisciplinary art collective based in Shanghai, China. Liu Dao was founded in 2006 by island6 Arts Center under the direction of French curator Thomas Charvériat. Liu Dao is an electronic art group composed of performance artists, multimedia artists and engineers. Their work focuses on interactive art installations that explore the effects that “technologies have on our perception and modes of communication”. As of August 2010, six Chinese artists are associated with the Liu Dao collective.
Liu Dao has exhibited in Albert Benamou Gallery, Galerie Twenty-one and Loft in Paris, Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai (MOCA), Hong Kong Art Fair, the Louis Vuitton Maison in Taipei and the Louis Vuitton gallery in Macau. Liu Dao artworks were taken into White Rabbit Gallery's collection of Chinese contemporary art in Sydney as "a less literal and more expressionistic lens" of cultural shifts in China, among artworks from artists such as Ai Weiwei, Bingyi, and Cang Xin, and in 2010 were brought into the Louis Vuitton gallery of Macau alongside Damien Hirst, Thomas Heatherwick and Cai Guo-Qiang.
Red Gate Gallery is the exclusive representative of Liu Dao in China.
