meta-meta is an expansive interdisciplinary project, comprising a new book of the artist’s instruction pieces (published by WPA) and an exhibition that will bring the book to life through an installation that functions as the mise-en-scène for a series of public programs and fresh experiments. The project, which was initiated at WPA through a research residency in 2021, engages the history and methodologies of instruction-based practices (from Fluxus to Artificial Intelligence) to extend the artist's ongoing investigation of modes of resistance to authority and control.

Join us on Saturday, October 14 from 7–9pm for the opening celebration! Let us know you're coming by RSVPing here.
