Graffiti and Poster Design

Lvxiao is a cutting-edge art group from the internet (www.lvxiao.com), who fuse art into life in non-occupational ways. On this fifth-year anniversary their attitudes toward life and art as a new generation of artists will be evident through graffiti making on the site. At the same time Lvxiao posters designed by Lvxiao members will be displayed as well. In addition, performances by pioneer electronic musician will add to the fun of the event as the tunes accompany a projection of

Lvxiao video shorts. This is not an everyday art exhibition; the work starts after the exhibition opens and keeps adding. This is not a pure gathering; those who are here will be flowing between creating and conversing. This is the lifestyle of the young Chinese art generation.

 If you can't play an instrument, you may not be able to perform on stage.

If you are not an artist, you still can come to graffiti.

      On Lvxiao

 "Lvxiao (lvxiao.com) is an open artistic group that anyone can join. You are part of Lvxiao if you leave a message here, or participate in a Lvxiao gathering or exhibition." This is the introduction phrase of

the Lvxiao website. There is nothing that excites this young generation more. And, many people leave messages, and, many people join the artistic group. Lvxiao is a self-driven young artistic group that uses the internet platform. They practice to make art for the mass with the open and democratic nature of their group, at the same time stressing for the responsibility that art has for society. Many

members create art as non-occupational during their spear time to doubt the aesthetic of traditional art. They disdain in vocational and professional status. There is no elitist standards, they have their

own ways of thinking and explaining art and life. They express them through making graphics, animation, painting, photography, sculpture, installation and other artistic means. This is a pure platform for exhibition and exchange, encouraging all young people interested in the art to participate and create their own work. There is full of love, equality, freedom, experimentation, innovation, and open spirit. After five years of development of this artistic group without restrains, people have come and left. Up to now Lvxiao includes nearly a hundred people from all over the country. They are designers, they are artists, they are ordinary office workers, students, even the unemployed. The regard Lvxiao as a spiritual home, many are unmet friends, many are friends with whom you can chat through the night. They are all friends of Lvxiao.
