Carey Young

A Juridical Aesthetic: Art at the Edges of Legal Form

Carey Young is Professor of Fine Art at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL, and an internationally recognised visual artist whose work has interrogated the aesthetics, politics and fictions of law for over twenty-five years. Working across video, photography, performance and text, she explores law’s entanglements with gender and power, often through collaborations with lawyers and legal scholars. Her work is held in major museum collections and has been exhibited widely, including solo shows at Modern Art Oxford (2023) and the Power Plant, Toronto (2009), and group shows at Tate Britain, the Hayward Gallery, Jeu de Paume, Centre Pompidou and MoMA PS1 (New York). She received a Paul Hamlyn Award (2021) and a Leverhulme Research Fellowship (2022), and is represented by Paula Cooper Gallery, New York. Visit Carey Young's website.
