Xiao Lu (Chinese: ??, born 1962) is a Chinese artist who works with installation art and video 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”.
