Description
For Open Research Program 12, Parasophia invites the American artist Louise Lawler to speak about the context of her practice, or the situations in the late 1970s and onward in response to which she has produced her work. Lawler, who came to be recognized in the late 1970s for her photographs of artworks in museums and private residences, describes art as being an integral part of a cumulative and collective enterprise viewed as seen fit by the prevailing culture. She notes that when she shows her work, she is showing the work of others—other artists, curators, collectors, wall painters, writers, advertisements, documents, fictions, all that contribute to resonance and recognition.Lawler’s lecture will be held at the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, where she has shown her work as part of the exhibition Images in Transition: Photographic Representation in the Eighties in 1990.
