Say What You Meme - Christine Wang at Galerie Nagel Draxler

Some may think of memes as simple online jokes. But to artist Christine Wang, memes are a way of talking about deeper issues affecting the world—and yes, making jokes in the process.  What if the out-of-context woman pictured in her piece So big was, in fact, talking about the national deficit? Wang’s pieces might make you laugh, but they will also make you both think.

What’s the most recent meme you’ve saved on your phone?
