In the late 1960s, Lee Lozano conceived of and executed a series of ‘language pieces,’ written in the pages of her notebooks, consisting of rules and parameters for the actions that would constitute a piece. From offering money to house-guests to smoking as much marijuana as possible, Lozano boldly tested social norms, culminating in two of her most famous works: ‘General Strike Piece’ (1969), which saw her retreating from the art world completely, and ‘Decide to Boycott Women’ (1971), in which she ceased engaging with all members of her own gender.

20世纪60年代末，李-洛萨诺构思并实施了一系列 “语言作品”，这些作品写在她的笔记本上，包括构成作品的行为规则和参数。从向房客提供金钱到尽可能多地吸食大麻，洛萨诺大胆地测试社会规范，最终完成了她最著名的两件作品：”总罢工作品”（1969年），她完全退出了艺术界；”决定抵制女性”（1971年），她不再与所有自己性别的成员接触。
