Brescia: Galleria Massimo Minini, 2016
30 x 21cm, 1pp announcement leaflet reproducing a drawing by Monk that references Sol Lewitt, Boetti and Weiner all at once. The over all design looks like several Boetti announcement leaflets but the drawing is a Lewitt cube and the idea of a wall drawing being covered and uncovered reminds one of early Lawrence Weiner conceptual art sculptures/structures. This example fo the leaflet is signed by Monk at the bottom in pencil. Folded for mailing else VG+.

Paris:Lab’Bel, 2016
11cm dia. x 5cm, sealed outer box content of a number of aluminium wrapped soft cheeses. One of a number (this being the third) of such boxes commissioned by the company where artists adapted the box design. Monk for his commission simply flipped the well known box design.
This example is signed on the base by Monk but sadly there are some marks from the spores from the cheese as it is very difficult to store such a work (we now think the best thing is to dry it out slowly and desicate the cheese which is our plan). Else VG and unopened.
