Plato Contract
Carey Young, 2008. Giclée print, 91 x 62 cm; 92.4 x 63.5 x 2.5cm (framed).
Plato Contract
involves a map of the Moon and a contractual text which states that it
is offered for sale on condition that it will only become a work of art
if installed on the Moon's crater, Plato. With subtle Romantic leanings,
the contract guides the collector to consider their dreams of the Moon
as part of the work, whilst making subtle reference to the legacy of
Platonic ideas of reality and illusion.
