自2020年开始，李燎将自身个体化作机构，通过邀请风水师担任策展人以及委任其它艺术家创作的方式，主办了以 “李氏家宅鸿运展” 为名的多次展览项目。
通过那些基于日常的半虚构式自传体创作，李燎的实践常常将真实境遇与艺术行为混为一谈。通过时常颇具寓言意味和自嘲式的行动策略，他主动设局或因势利导，践行着对社会现实问题的关注，并将 “社会介入” 落实到微观社会系统及具体条件下的身体力行，对家庭生产、社会生产及艺术生产的评价机制及规则进行观察与质疑，并尝试提供一套应对压力的戏谑策略，由此引发经验上的再认识。

Since 2020, Li Liao transforms himself into an institution and initiate the “Fortune Exhibition of Li’s Family House”, in which Fengshui masters act as curators and guest artists create commissioned works.
Creating semi-fictional autobiographical works based on daily life, Li Liao presents a series of real life situations mixed with artistic actions. Through his often allegorical and self-deprecating action strategy, Li Liao takes the initiative to set up or take advantage of a situation to reveal his concern for the real problems that plague society, applying “communal participation” to practicing what he preaches in micro-level social systems and under concrete circumstances. In this process, he also observes and questions the evaluation mechanisms and rules for family production, social production and artistic production and attempts to provide a set of playful strategies to deal with stress, thus evoking a rethinking of experience.
