“Fakirs” is a third in a series of exhibitions organized by island6 that focuses on the way in which studies of consciousness have inspired artworks created by the collective Liu Dao. The series cover the major approaches in consciousness studies, including psychology, parapsychology (in particular hypnosis, hallucination, automatic writing and hyperesthesia), philosophy and cognitive science.
As 2010’s first show in the non-profit, volunteer-run island6 Arts Center located in Shanghai’s 50 Moganshan Lu art district, “Fakirs” opens on January 16th at 8pm and will explore visual research on paranormal studies. Circus acrobats, magicians, illusionists and artists will perform feasts of magic to animate the evening.
