« Meta-art is art about art. It describes other art, it is self-referential, self-conscious or self-parodying. Artists making meta art make work based on themselves and their surroundings. It features a narrative of their daily life. The work is about their position in the art world. Artworks deal with other artworks, the art world, or individual artists. They self-consciously refer to previous works.
Artists are often doing this to insert themselves into the narrative of art history and add some commentary or self-conscious adjustment or amendment to the art of the past. A more conceptual engagement with the art market will be captured in another gene: The Art Market. The works in this gene take as their subject the art market itself, but do not always make overt visual references. One could see Damien Hirst auction ‘Beautiful Inside My Head Forever’ a performance in itself. »
