Carey Young

A London-based visual artist with 20 years research within law, Carey works across video, photography, text, and performance exploring the relationship between the body, language, rhetoric, and systems of power. Her fellowship with us runs alongside her solo exhibition that took place at Modern Art Oxford earlier this year. Since 2002, she’s used deep ‘field research’ with lawyers, law firms and legal theorists, creating critical, conceptual works which address law and justice in the light of artistic foci such as landscape, site, portraiture or the sublime. Since 2016, her interest expanded to include a lens-based approach, using photography and video to explore legal architecture in relation to gender and performance.
