Customs
Officers from four countries neighboring Switzerland -
Austria, Italy, France, and Germany - participated in
Jankowski's Singing Customs Officers, originally
exhibited in Switzerland in 1999. The Officers each sang
their respective national anthems in front of their border
checkpoints while Jankowski recorded them on video. The
display at SI will consist of the receipt of the custom
duties for the import of the videos as art goods and the
video transmissions on monitors, facing outward atop a
four sided "Swiss cross" pedestal.
