Louise Lawler uses photography to study the value, meaning and use of art. By photographing artworks in museums and other spaces and situations, she reveals hidden mechanisms in the art world concerning production, distribution, consumption and storage. Without making any judgement, Lawler points out that there is no neutral way of exhibiting art and that the meaning of artworks is determined by the context they are presented and viewed in.
