Carey Young, incorporated

Carey Young, incorporated was published in 2002 as a comprehensive monograph documenting the artist's practice at the turn of the millennium. The book serves as a critical exploration of the intersection between contemporary art, corporate culture, and the language of management. It encapsulates a period in Young's career where she frequently adopted the guise of a corporate consultant, using legal contracts and business terminology as artistic mediums to interrogate the boundaries of professional and creative life.

The volume was co-published by Film and Video Umbrella and the John Hansard Gallery, reflecting the collaborative institutional support for Young's video installations and performance works during that era. Designed to mirror the aesthetic austerity of corporate literature and annual reports, the publication functions not just as a retrospective, but as a conceptual extension of the artworks themselves. It was received as a significant contribution to the institutional critique movement, highlighting how the vocabulary of the workplace had become an increasingly dominant force in global social structures.
