Abstract
In this paper I give a critical account of the work of young Australian artist Dan Elborne. Drawing on the critical theory of Immanuel Kant, Walter Benjamin and others, I suggest that Dan Elborne's on-going project,500, brings together what critical theory and critical practice often treat as separate: beauty and the sublime. I argue that the deployment of the two seemingly opposed categories best explain the complex mix of aesthetics and politics in Elborne's art.
