At the opening of the iconic exhibition China/Avant-Garde (1989, Beijing), the artist Xiao Lu fired two shots at her installation Dialogue and handed the gun to the artist Tang Song. Xiao Lu published a fictional memoir, Dialogue (2010) where she presented a historiography of her artwork, reflecting on the performance and challenging Tang Song’s appropriation of the work during the fifteen years of their relationship. This article explores the artist’s commitment to narrate her own history, Xiao Lu offers a re-writing of the official history of art, a questioning of the patriarchy in art, which lends itself to a feminist reading.
