Meme monster mural - a photo on Flickriver

Meme monster mural

            Can a meme be considered art? Can art be considered a meme? Let’s find out. We’ve taken the classic ‘Cool looking stick I found’ meme and given it a new lease of three dimensional artistic life. Featuring me as an armour clad knight, the stick I found as a powerful and comically oversized sword and the wall as a massive imaginary monster. Except the whole thing is imaginary and only comes into being on finding the cool stick. Make sense? Good. 

But is it art? After all, opinions on art are as subjective as memes themselves. Much like everything else in the art world...
