Metaconceptual Art

Metaconceptual Art studies art as a system: artwork, institution, market, archive, viewer, and meaning folded into one living form.

The artwork is not only the object. It is the condition that permits the object to be seen. It is the institution that frames it, the market that prices it, the archive that remembers it, and the viewer who activates it.
