Jonathan Monk: Studio Visit

Edited by Tobias Kaspar.
Published by JRP|Ringier

A homage to Richard Prince's many classic publications, Jonathan Monk's new book reveals that the artist, customarily regarded as a classic instance of the “post-studio” practitioner, working from a small desk, a computer and a cell phone, actually has a traditional physical space, documented here, Prince-style, with loving attention to his working props.

Jonathan Monk: The Reason Why I Am Here Is the Reason Why I Am Here

Lynn Valley 3

Edited by Reid Sheir, Roger Bywater.
Published by Walther König/Bywaters Bros. Editions, Toronto/Presentation House

Lynn Valley 3, by the British artist Jonathan Monk, features amateur photographs taken by an audience member at a recent Morrissey concert in Berlin, where the artist is currently based. Each photograph is mirrored on its verso page. Monk’s work was recently shown at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Jonathan Monk: Until Then....If Not Before

Edited and with text by Frédéric Paul. Interviews and contributions by Pierre Bismuth, David Shrigley, Ed Ruscha, Ceal Floyer, Claude Closky, John Baldessari.
Published by Domaine De Kerguehennec

Jonathan Monk, born in the UK in 1969, is a dry-humored mischief-maker who explores 1960s influences in installations, photography, film, sculpture and performance. He has met with success--in 2006 his work appeared in New Photography at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and at the Tate Triennial. Interviewed here, he tells the respected artist David Shrigley, "it is sometimes difficult to understand where it [art] all begins and ends… the unanswerable question keeps us all going." His work is just as quotable, including signs that read, "Meeting point" and "This painting should ideally be hung to the left of an Ed Ruscha." Not coincidentally, this volume includes contributions from influential supporters including Mr. Ruscha and John Baldessari.

Jonathan Monk: & Milk

Artwork by Jonathan Monk.
Published by Walther König, Köln

A glass of milk is the demonstrative subject of this little book, a deceptively simple experiment in process. An initial slide of the glass was duplicated, a duplicate was made of that duplicate, and so on, until there were 50 generations of the original. Matters become complicated when one slide is made from another; new conditions and patterns emerge that can hardly be anticipated. With each generation, the reproduction loses some information, the colors change, definition and resolution suffer, and even the image area itself begins to change. & Milk is a fascinating piece, as well as a fun flip book that appeals to anyone interested in matters of regeneration, duplication or temporality.
