Posted at 18:11h in Jonathan Monk, Uncategorised

London: ICA, 2005
21 x 15cm, 4pp. One of a series of exhibition catalogues which changed daily as Monk insisted that the daily list of items in the exhibition should change with a small number of works being replaced (rotated) from a storeroom of his works held elsewhere on a daily basis. Hence each "daily diary" was different from the next. All fine.

17 Oct THE SURPRISE. 2005.

Posted at 10:06h in Jonathan Monk

Edinburgh: Show and Tell Editions, 2005 Found 7 inch single 45rpm record with specially printed label and white cover. The record is one of 100 different pop singles mostly from the 1980s - with some of the records by well known artists and others not. The re-labelling of the record by Monk means that the purchaser will not know what the original record is (unless they recognise it or do some research) - thus the 'surprise'. One of 100 copies each signed and numbered by Monk in pencil on the white outer cover. Each record is obviously unique within the edition....
