2023

I set off from Sydney back to Hangzhou on January 17. My parents both contracted the coronavirus and were fine. On January 28, Xiao Lu’s work “Dialogue” participated in the “Framing the Revolution” exhibition at Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Oregon, USA (https://jsma.uoregon.edu/Framing-the-Revolution#). Xiao Lu returned to Sydney from Shanghai on February 11. At 11:30PM on February 23 (Sydney time), She participated in the "Autobiography of Chinese Contemporary Artists" organized by London-based artist Sheng Qi, the first article "Xiao Lu: The Avenger's Bullet" (https://youtu.be/RmVbVAvzcKk). At 1:30AM on March 4 (Sydney time), the second article "Xiao Lu: Gunshots in the Art Museum Shocked the World" (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f6vBqaBrnwI). On March 18, Sheng Qi's "Autobiography of Chinese Contemporary Art" released "Xiao Lu's Performance Collection" (https://youtu.be/IEKtRSXP5). At 9:30AM on March 19th (Sydney time), Sheng Qi interviewed Xiao Lu for the third time. The third article is "Xiao Lu: I was thinking about falling in love every day and had no interest in social issues at all..." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WXJos_jB24&t=6s). In March, She went to the visa section of the Chinese Consulate in Sydney to apply for a return trip to China and was asked to write a guarantee: "Xiao Lu promises not to engage in any art-related activities while in China." Only then was the visa granted. (Note: When applying for a return visa in December 2022, She will not be required to sign this written document). On April 1st, the performance videos "Dialogue", "Polar" and "Correction" participated in the "Exodus! Female Identity in Chinese Contemporary Art" exhibition held by the Austrian Museum of Fine Arts (Museum der Moderne Salzburg) (https://www. museumdermoderne.at/en/exhibitions/detail/stepping-out-female-identities-in-chinese-contemporary-art/?fbclid=IwAR1O0H96XLZMj0zkc_BFWjopU1Niiny-iLnxKXC174I1IPtaftSPzZteI34), exhibition period: April 1st - June 25th.
