Video installations explore Kafkaesque world of the law. Visual arts review by Mark Sheerin
Appearance, British-American artist Carey Young's concise, striking survey at Modern Art Oxford brings together works made between 2005 and 2023 that consider power and the women who wield it. Early text-based pieces draw on Youngs ongoing interest in law as a material and subject for art. Later photographs and videos explore female agency in industry and the courtroom, as well as, in a brand-new series of still images, the similarities between recent Belgian prison architecture and abstract painting.
Carey Young’s work gives fresh insights into the workings of the legal profession, enabling critique and understanding of law and legal methods for gallery visitors and art world professionals.
