INDEX I - 2023

‘Index’ is an exhibition about aesthetics and finance built on a personal fascination with the visual representation of numerical variables laid out as simple geometric compositions known as economic diagrams. Like those that describe financial crises in the 20th century – they present the rhythmic repetition of lines that feel similar to compositions of traditional modernist abstraction. ‘Index’ takes inspiration from such images. But also from the idea of translating economic policies into objects – specifically those formed during the inflationary period of the late twentieth century.

The outcome is a series of steel sculptures reminiscent of designer furniture with unclear functionality and inspired by the kinds of architectural details that give flavor to a particular year. These sculptures are exhibited along with editions of silkscreen prints that look towards the visual culture of bank advertisements from the 80s to form compositions that evoke the mergers of those banks in the same era.
