Ymedaca was a multi-modal art work that created the largest sculpture ever exhibited at Yorkshire Sculpture Park by recasting its entire grounds and facilities as a contemporary translation of Platos garden academy. The project explored how art works could be used to re-contextualise Platos philosophical ideas - in particular about the good life and wisdom - to reveal their relevance to contemporary concerns surrounding both the artist-thinker as public figure and the changing role of the university. Reeves methodology extended the remit and format of the artworks themselves, the value of the art school and the figure of the artist within society at large.
