Manchester: Cornerhouse, 2013
30 x 21cm, 60pp plus card covers. Artist's book and exhibition catalogue for a major installation at the Kunstraum Dornbirn which had previously been a factory - Monk returned it to that function and assembled over 100 bicycles using volunteers and himself which were later left around in the city to allow lucky finders to keep a basic bicycle. The catalogue notes Monk regards the bicycle as being a symbol of freedom given his own early experience of the vehicle being a means of allowing him to go long distances alone. Numerous b/w images of one cycle in close up and colour images of the space and installation. VG+.

London: Three Star Books, 2012
Twenty "royal sheets" - each 50.8 x 63.5cm - that together make up a 203.2 x 317.5cm billboard (requiring construction and a wooden backing board that were not supplied by Monk) and a bound book - in Royal Folio size - 50.8 x 31.7cm, with 80pp and boards. The pages of the book are exactly the same as the pages in the bill board only cut differently.
The text on both the billboard and in the book is a description of the billboard and book, the processes that were required to make both, the formats used in the typography and other aspects of the production and details about the artist and the publishers.
There were five different formats to the book of which only five copies of each format were made (plus another 3 artist's proofs of each size and another 3 copies of each size hors commerce.
A huge in so many ways production and an ambitious artist's book in various versions.
