During a trip to the art village of Dafen, China, in order to work with painters onNeue Malerei, Jankowski came across two public sculptures that were being used as drying racks. Struck by the deadpan and pragmatic appropriation of the monuments, Jankowski took a photograph. The enlarged photograph is displayed on a billboard at the entrance to the gallery, facing the street, and with neon lights that illuminate the image at night. This intriguing imagine invites the public to imagine what’s beneath the laundry, and hints at the audience participation within the exhibition.
