Christian Jankowski Artist's Path (From Artist's Studio to the Beach), detail, 2010 Handwoven carpet, wool Over the course of several years Jankowski collected drawings made to give directions depicting the way from a hotel in Venice to Harry’s Bar or from Villa Massimo to a post office in Rome among others. For his exhibition in Proyectos Monclova the artist has selected 4 sketches to be translated into big format handwoven rugs, which somehow also represent the artist’s nomadic life, travelling from one exhibition, biennial or residency to the next. Artist’s Path was produced in collaboration with Mexican craftsmen from Guadalajara and bears a subtle comment on the “old” and “new” in regard to media and techniques.
