Carey Young

Creative Arts Fellow 2018

Carey Young is a visual artist whose work is inspired by her research in diverse fields including law, business, politics and science. The tools, language and architecture of these fields act as material for her installations, performances and photographs, as well as for video works in which absurd relationships often develop between the performer/subjects, and the rhetoric of political, commercial or legal discourse. Her solo shows include Dallas Museum of Art (2017), Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich  (2013), The Power Plant, Toronto (2009) and Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (2009). Group shows include Centre Pompidou, Paris (2018, 2015), Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (2018), Tate Britain (2010). A monograph on her work, 'Subject to Contract', was published by JRP-Ringier in 2013. She is represented by Paula Cooper Gallery, New York and is Associate Professor in Fine Art at the Slade, UCL and an Honorary Research Fellow in Law at Birkbeck.

Carey's research interests are currently: Legal theory, especially critical legal theory relating to human rights, air and space law, land law, jurisprudence Aesthetics and architectures of law (courts, prisons, law offices etc) Gender, feminism and the cinematic Political rhetoric

John Duggan

Creative Arts Fellow 2012, Composer and singer.

John started his music career as a chorister in Westminster Cathedral before studying music at Keble College, Oxford. He has a varied musical background with experience ranging from sound engineering for the likes of Radiohead and the Manic Street Preachers, to playing drums in jazz and pop bands, and composing for a number of local and national choirs. In 2006, John co-founded the Oxford-based choir Sospiri and is now their official composer-in-residence.

John will be drawing on this experience to develop a number of new collaborations at Wolfson and is particularly looking forward to the opportunity to work with The Fournier Trio, currently artists in residence at Wolfson.

Longer term, John plans to build on his body of work based on poetical texts from World War I. Describing the project, he said, "I’m delighted that Professor Jon Stallworthy is a member of the college. He has written extensively on the life and work of Wilfred Owen, who has been a great source of inspiration to me."
