enter… island6 Marina!

From the urban jungle of Shanghai to the sub-tropical Thailand, island6 has laid our anchor astride the bountiful topaz shores of Phuket! An extremely fruitful 2013 saw the Liu Dao collective extend our influence to a further four galleries, the latest of which, island6 Marina , is due to be opened by the Chinese New Year of the Horse.

Taking pride of place on the idyllic Thai island, Royal Phuket Marina provides the perfect backdrop for the Liu Dao collective’s latest exhibition space. Phuket itself is steeped in a rich history, something you will see as you saunter down the quaint roads, observing the diverse display of architecture dotted around the island. Although Phuket has been exposed to a huge variety of cultures over the centuries, it still has a distinctly Chinese heritage; no doubt this is why we found ourselves gravitating towards this most fascinating of locations…

To celebrate this migration island6 Marina will open with an exhibition paying homage to the cross-cultural complexities of the Peranakan people. In true time-honoured Liu Dao fashion, “The Babas and Yayas of Huang Li Bai” promises to excite and entice, as we honour our traditional artistic values through our signature modern electronic interaction, all the while staying true to our intrinsic Chinese heritage.

With the opening day looming, it is set to be an event you wont forget. We have sushi with a surprise, dancers with a twist and much more. Stay tuned…
