What is A Movie Without the Picture about?

West of Rome and “Women in the City” presents Louise Lawler’s, “A Movie Without the Picture,” first exhibited at the Aero Theater in 1979, as one part of a public art exhibition that takes place in multiple venues. To coincide with the opening of the Broad Contemporary Art Museum (BCAM) at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, “Women in the City” has selected to exhibit four prominent contemporary artists: Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer and Louise Lawler. The temporary project is staged in unpredictable venues and locations throughout Los Angeles – occupying billboards, storefronts, and many other highly visible sites throughout the city. “A Movie Without the Picture” 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.
