Xiao Lu
Xiao Lu (; born 1962) is a Chinese artist who works with
Performance art and
Installation art. She became famous in 1989, when she participated in the 1989
China/Avant-Garde Exhibition with her work, ''Dialogue''. Just two hours after the exhibition opened, she suddenly shot her own work with a gun, causing an immediate shutdown of the exhibition. When the
Tiananmen Square massacre occurred four months later, her actions were heavily politicized, referred to as “the first gunshots of Tiananmen”.
