Carey Young, Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia, Imagination Engineering Using a variety of media including video, performance and photography, artist Carey Young uses found tools, language and training processes from the worlds of the multinational corporation and global law firm and diverts them into an artistic context from which she explores ideas of autonomy, duration, intimacy and dissent. In her talk she will discuss the corporate avant-garde's hunger for 'creativity' and 'revolutionary' language and how she responds to these challenges within her own artistic work. In recent projects she has been 'psychoanalysed' in terms of her ability to remember corporate slogans concerning 'creativity', received motivational training to help present herself as a convincing revolutionary, offered a spoken portrait of a call centre worker, and presented legal contracts which bind the viewer to the artist for indefinite periods of time.
