As loyal followers might know, for a couple of months now we have been enjoying our sweet-natured and above all very talented sound designer on our team, David Keohane. Having majored in Music Technology in the University of Limerick/Ireland and being proficient in 5 instruments, he is giving the Liu Dao artworks the perfect tune.

Island6’ long lasting and much valued representation by China’s first ever gallery for contemporary art climaxed in last week’s Vernissage of “Metropolis Rises”. Beijing was calling, and so for several weeks we were pottering around to bring fast-modernizing China into being and to portray obsessions with the automated and urbanized.

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.
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 a very special cure for these unsteady climate days: an artwork a day keeps the doctor away!
On March 28 th, island6 Hong Kong opened its 3 rd in house exhibition, featuring acrobatic artworks, smoking beauties, some hot and heavy Hong Kong rain and one delicious roasted pig’s head.
