Jonathan Monk

Book & Poster


From September 3rd to October 31st 2009

It is a great pleasure to present an exhibition with new sculptures by Jonathan Monk.

Jonathan Monk's new series of scultures consists of bronze casts of padded envelopes and cardboard tubes, used to send books and posters of importance to the artist. Through the obvious contrast between the poor and disposable quality of the wrapping material and the permanence of the bronze, Jonathan Monk explores and rethinks the creative process and the role of the artist. Monk challenges both art and his own authority through these scultures that also play with the fact that access to the context they originally protected is impossible from the moment they are made permanent in bronze. A paradox that aptly describes Monk's own way of relating to art and art history.

We are happy to welcome you in the gallery.
