Meta Art, contemporary yet depicted all throughout art history. No, this is not a reference to Facebook. Meta Art is a conceptual expression unique to the artist or their message. It incorporates honest self reflection and seeks to challenge what might be considered the norm. Essentially it can be what you like and in any style that you like. However, it must portray a message, act, protest, or critique of something you see within yourself or others which goes unnoticed as unusual, unnaceptable, maybe hillarious, or shocking? It’s broad, but it prompts us to think. An example might be a story board depicting a young girl watching her mother get stressed over her weight. Then, followed by a scene showing her mother telling her off for being upset about her weight, to then see the complete piece shows how the mother is holding the story board noticing her influence on the matter. Many more examples but that depicts a strong look inwards and a realisation of what absurd normality was at play.
