The book was published on the occasion of Liu Xiaodong's solo exhibition, "Painting as Shooting which was conceived as an exhibition in three chapters, produced by Faurschou Foundation, in Venice, Beijing and Copenhagen.
The first step, which took place at the Cini Foundation for the 56th Venice Biennale, was the first major European institutional exhibition to fully explore Liu Xiaodong’s unique practice, as one of China’s most influential painters of the last two decades. The second, presented by Faurschou Foundation in its Beijing space, presented the most recent series of works created by the artist during his stay in Ordos in Inner Mongolia. The last chapter, mixing the first two shows, represents the most updated survey on Liu Xiaodong’s work.
Fully illustrated, the exhibition catalogue unveils “TO BE CONTINUED”, an ongoing interview between Liu Xiaodong and Jérôme Sans composed of pieces from different events and times since 2008.
