Assembling paintings, extensive diary entries, and a documentary film by Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien, the UCCA exhibition “Liu Xiaodong: Hometown Boy” was a multi-faceted attempt to record the artistic process from Liu Xiaodong’s perspective as well as to understand Liu’s art practice. The catalogue published in conjunction with this exhibition includes an interview with Liu and essays by Guo Xiaoyan, Alexandra Munroe, Jeff Kelley, and Zheng Yan. It also collects images of Liu’s paintings, his handwritten diary entries, an artist’s note, and documentation of the film Hometown Boy.
