Although Xiao Lu’s Dialogue is written in the form of a novel, it is based on a true story. However, it is not only the story of a single individual. At the same time it presents a particularly important event in the history of Chinese contemporary art.

Although she belongs to the avant-garde generation that has done so well, internationally as well as within China, Xiao Lu nonetheless presents an alternative to the recognized artist. Contradictions abound in regard to her career: for one, she is considered a major artist on the basis of a very small body of work.

I recently saw a very colourful Xiao Lu. One of her hands was wrapped in white bandage, previously wounded during her “Polar” exhibition, whilst the other hand maneuvered the steering wheel with ease.

Opposed to conform to societal norms and unwilling to restrict the self, this kind of women refuse to be ordinary and do what is expected. Xiao Lu, Zhao Yinou, and Cao Yu have been her kind. They may have multiple personas, as daughter, mother, and wife, but more importantly, they are artists.

To see the problems clearly, you have to view in the dimension of time. “More than twenty years” is quite a lengthy stretch of history for an individual, but in terms of art history, it may be quite short.

it was the first time that I broke my silence to talk about Dialogue in public in the whole period from 1989 to 2004. This process was so long. These things are all described in my novel “Dialogue”. You can read about it later.

Although Xiao Lu’s Dialogue is written in the form of a novel, it is based on a true story. However, it is not only the story of a single individual. At the same time it presents a particularly important event in the history of Chinese contemporary art.

Although she belongs to the avant-garde generation that has done so well, internationally as well as within China, Xiao Lu nonetheless presents an alternative to the recognized artist. Contradictions abound in regard to her career: for one, she is considered a major artist on the basis of a very small body of work.

 This is because we see in these two telephone booths a red telephone placed on a table, but the telephone’s mouthpiece is not atop the telephone, but rather dangles there, unanswered, suggesting that the “dialogue” has been cut off.

This time I spent all my time in a hotel. I couldn’t see any green shadows outside the window, but just shut myself inside my room, except for an occasional long walk outside, and I seemed isolated from this world.

As a matter of my overall conception of art, I believe that art is a process of testing (or perhaps, supplementing this word with words of similar meaning: a practice, practical experiment, attempt, possibility of discovery and so on).

     Concise situation account of the “Shooting Incident” of 5 February, 1989 at the China/Avant-Garde in Beijing. Naturally, the facts in my account are selective and have a motive, namely to draw people’s increased attention to the facts of these events. Our original object in this action was to let the situation speak for itself.
