20 x 18cm transparent bag containing a Dr Winkler "handtrainer" and printed leaflet/label. The "hand trainer" being a inflatable double thick blue plastic bag which is intended to be a means of building strength in one's hands by regular squeezing.

Berlin: Meyer Riegger, 2011 21 x 18cm, 36pp plus card covers and printed wrap-around dustjacket which is only 2/3rd the size of the book. The wrap around has a photograph of a cyclist riding with two bikes at once. The exhibition catalogue for a joint show with Ariel Schlesinger but which is also an artist's book. The front cover of the book has the only text (and gallery information) and internally the pages are near continuous images of the exhibition installation. The book's format is similar in some ways to later Monk shows where the walls of the show display wallpaper with installation views from earlier shows. VG+. ...

27 x 21cm, full colour c-print displaying the making of a world map using the fabric from an American flag. The woman making the tapestry (reminding one of the supposed original making of the flag by Betsy Ross) was a member of the right-wing "Daughters of the American Revolution" who Monk paid to create the work (adding layers of irony given the American right wing are against the destruction of flags).
This example of the photograph is designated as "Artist's Proof" on the back in Monk's holograph and is hand titled, dated and signed also by the artist. We do not know if the image was used as an edition or not.
