Eight Sentences On Metaconceptual Art
A sentence sequence after Sol LeWitt that frames Metaconceptual Art as a field of form, institution, market, history, medium, access, and life.
The Eight Sentences are written after Sol LeWitt's Sentences on Conceptual Art — not to imitate his propositions, but to treat the sentence itself as an artistic unit. A sentence can be a drawing of thought: an instruction, a frame, a rule, or a wall label for a work that has not yet become visible.
Read together they set the field of the project: form, market, institution, history, time, medium, access, and life. Each is glossed in plain language on the landing page so the work stays legible to visitors without art-world credentials.
