From November 22 through to December 28, 2025, Tan Tan’s solo exhibition Keep Gathering is on display at Double Double Gallery in Beijing.

Taikang Art Museum presents The River Divides, The World Connects in Beijing, which is Liu Xiaodong’s most systematic and comprehensive solo presentation to date, bringing together more than 70 original works created from the late 1970s to 2025, forming a condensed portrait of his over-four-decade artistic trajectory. Structured around two parallel threads—“East of the River / West of the River” and “What to Paint / How to Paint”—the exhibition approaches Liu’s work from both geographical and spiritual, thematic and methodological perspectives. Through the interweaving of time and space, it reveals the artist’s continuous process of renewal and reinvention between lived reality and the act of painting.
