Neuware -A key element in Christian Jankowski's (\*1968) practice of art involves feeding interventions peppered with humor into media contexts and closed systems. The paths of transmission and moments of disruption materialized in the exhibition Sender and Receiver at Fluentum, which featured a selection of new and previously rarely seen works. The show has been conceptually extended via the eponymous catalogue: Jankowski's art from the past two decades has been documented in extensive photo series and is accompanied by a variety of texts that examine the content in depth.Of particular interest: a piece on the current coronavirus pandemic. In it, the artist gives so-called essential workers a temporary platform on select television formats in order to publicly share their personal experiences and impressions in a time when living conditions have been altered by the pandemic. The result is a complex stratum of unconventional narratives layered on top of television's usual working order.; Mit viel Humor gespickt bildet das interventionistische Einspeisen in mediale Kontexte und in sich geschlossene Systeme ein Schlu sselelement in der ku nstlerischen Praxis von Christian Jankowski (\*1968). Die Übertragungswege und dort angesiedelte Momente der Störung materialisierten sich in der Ausstellung Sender and Receiver bei Fluentum. Gezeigt wurden eine Auswahl an neuen und bisher nur selten gezeigten Werken. Im Katalog Sender and Receiver wird die Ausstellung konzeptuell verlängert.Besonders interessant: Eine Arbeit zur aktuellen Corona-Pandemie. In ihr gibt der Ku nstler den sogenannten systemrelevanten Arbeiterinnen und Arbeitern u ber ausgewählte TV-Formate temporär eine Plattform, um ihre persönlichen Erlebnisse und Eindru cke in einer durch die Pandemie veränderten Lebensrealität mit der Öffentlichkeit zu teilen. Auf diese Weise entstehen eigenwillige Erzählungen, die sich fu r einen kurzen Moment als komplexe Schicht u ber die sonst intakte Welt des Fernsehalltags legen. 184 pp. Englisch, Deutsch.

A key element in Christian Jankowski's (*1968) practice of art involves feeding interventions peppered with humour into media contexts and closed systems. The paths of transmission and moments of disruption materialised in the exhibition Sender and Receiver at Fluentum, which featured a selection of new and previously rarely seen works. The show has been conceptually extended via the eponymous catalogue: Jankowski's art from the past two decades has been documented in extensive photo series and is accompanied by a variety of texts that examine the content in depth.

Of particular interest: a piece on the current coronavirus pandemic. In it, the artist gives so-called essential workers a temporary platform on select television formats in order to publicly share their personal experiences and impressions in a time when living conditions have been altered by the pandemic. The result is a complex stratum of unconventional narratives layered on top of television's usual working order.

Text in English and German.
