Disclaimer series
2004
Carey Young / Massimo Sterpi
Series of three inkjet prints mounted on board. Each work: 76cm x 76cm x 2cm.

Commissioned by the Henry Moore Institute.
   
   
 

"Young has collaborated with Massimo Sterpi, a notable intellectual property lawyer and art law expert, to create three disclaimers which appear as black text on white panels. Alluding to Joseph Beuy's term ‘social sculpture’, in which language is seen as a sculptural form, Sterpi and Young's disclaimer-works use a legal precision to destabilise the status of the relationship between artwork, viewer and host institution."

From the press release for the artist's solo show at Henry Moore Institute, Leeds (2004.)
