Louise Lawler: A Movie Will Be Shown Without the Picture (1979/2007) February 14, 2008

West of Rome and "Women in the City" presents Louise Lawler's 'A Movie will be shown without the picture.' The screening is a gesture of appropriation. The artist's intention is for the viewer to respond foremost to a group experience, rather than a solely visual experience. The project aims to engage a wide audience, initiate a dynamic public dialogue about contemporary art in an atypical context, and provide an unexpected encounter that will capture the imagination of curious theater-goers, and create a lasting impression.
