Carol Szymanski's 'My Life is an Index' at Tanja Grunert Gallery

From September 15 to October 18, 2015, Tanja Grunert Gallery in New York, located at 33A Orchard Street, showcased Carol Szymanski's solo exhibition titled 'My Life is an Index.' The exhibition comprised two distinct bodies of work: one reflecting her experiences as an investment banker and the other stemming from her dedicated studio practice. A highlight was 'Cockshut Dummy Desk Version' (2004-2015), a self-published book presented on a vintage table, which featured digital reformatting and a silk-screened wall text quoting Muammar Gaddafi. Additionally, the exhibition included the '12 tone interjection series' (2015) in multiple formats, enhanced by musical pieces from Betsy McClelland and readings by Mary Ann Caws and Barry Schwabsky, focusing on classification systems and the philosophy of knowledge.
