I find Young to be such an interesting artist. I am not sure how I first discovered her work -- it might have been through ChatGPT / Perplexity stemming from inquiries about Maria Eichhorn and using legal and financial structures as an art medium.
She blends critical research with participation / engagement in a way that I think is very constructive; from this she's able to form her own language, a particular form of aestheticized research which I think is so sophisticated. For me, she really speaks to how art stands as a truly unnegotiable form of activism (Hannah Arendt -- https://www.hannaharendt.net/index.php/han/article/view/592/1012?utm
and also

I am inspired by her collaborations with institutions; I think there's a sense of curiosity here more than an outright criticism, which is rare and important, something to aspire to.
