Join us for a conversation between the Beijing-based painter Liu Xiaodong and Zoe S. Kwok, the Nancy and Peter Lee Associate Curator of Asian Art. Liu is the Art Museum’s 2024 Sarah Lee Elson, Class of 1984, International Artist-in-Residence. He creates monumental social realist paintings; his practice involves photographing and painting carefully staged compositions that address social upheaval wrought by population displacement as well as economic and environmental crises.
