Manchester/Birmingham: Booksworks/Eastside Projects, 2011 Ten wall offset lithograph posters (each 84.1 x 59.4cm) by Jonathan Monk based on instructions supplied by the artist and one 20.3 x 15.2cm, b/w photograph of Martin Kippenberger (taken from one of the posters) which is signed and numbered from the edition on the back. Monk supplied six vintage (original) artist's posters to the publisher. Each location (from a tour of the exhibition) starting in Birmingham was told to fly-post two of the vintage posters on a site of their choosing and then immediately photographed. An additional vintage Daniel Buren stripe poster was also fly-posted and the image rephotographed six times so that the image slowly fades in each subsequent poster. Ultimately the full set of 10 "new" posters were produced. Only 45 sets of these posters and the photograph were signed and numbered as an edition although a number of "non-signed" and "non-editioned" posters were also released. The posters were situated as follows: Eastside Projects, Birmingham, 2011 Daniel Buren Bas Jan Ader Motto/Chert, Berlin, 2011 Daniel Buren Martin Kippenberger Spike Island, Bristol, 2011 Daniel Buren Richard Long White Columns, New York, 2011 Daniel Buren John Baldessari The Showroom and Space, London, 2012 Daniel Buren Pop Art in England Additionally there are two 30 x 21cm 1pp offset sheets with the background information and instructions for the work.
