Details:

Liu Xiadong: Borders will present a new series of works by the contemporary painter, who has tirelessly documented sociological settings for over thirty years. The exhibition is comprised of paintings, diary entries and videos developed from the hundreds of drawings, photographs and footage Xiaodong created throughout two research trips led along the U.S.-Mexico border in 2019. A restless traveler, Xiaodong combines his energetic curiosity for humanity with an old-style dedication and trust for the power of art and painting, thus offering a parallel landscape of a border often unknown to the U.S. public and not represented in the media. The exhibition will also feature a forty-minute documentary shot by filmmaker Yang Bo while Xiaodong was at border, which will immerse visitors in vivid depictions of his travels and explorations.
