-2007-

For the ongoing series What Still Needs to Be Done, Jankowski uses his own to-do lists and scratch paper as the basis for a
series of neon signs. Glowing on a vast scale and in the artist’s handwriting are phrases such as »Why am I not in the Biennale?« (addressed to his gallerist, who had recently met with a pertinent curator); »Should I spend any more money?« (a question to his tax advisor shortly before the end of the year, revealing Jankowski’s intention to invest in new equipment instead of paying taxes); or everyday time management problems like »Cancel the hairdresser.« Each offers a passing glimpse into the banal concerns and thoughts of the artist. Even if some of these concerns have yet to be resolved in the artist’s daily life, they find an end as an artwork.
