Carey Young

Thursday, 20 November 2008 - Monday, 15 December 2008

Thomas Dane Gallery, 11 Duke Street St James, Piccadilly, SW1Y 6BN

How Much: Free!
The first exhibition at Thomas Dane's new Mason's Yard project space kicks off this November.

Carey Young has been working closely with a team of lawyers specialising in media and intellectual property law to produce a work that explores the notion of the legal contract as artistic medium.

Visitors are offered a free work, which only becomes classified as 'art' once they have signed it. The contract is binding until the death of either the owner or Young herself.

A fascinating exercise in the performative aspects of the law, and perhaps an artistic realisation of Derrida's writings on Kafka's Before the Law.

Until 15.12.08.

Please note: this is an off-site project and takes place at:
Thomas Dane Project Space
14 Mason's Yard
SW1 6BU
