Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. Dust Jacket Condition: Gut bis sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 20,5 x 28 cm, 90 Seiten/pages - Ariel Schlesinger ist in den letzten Jahren immer wieder durch erstaunliche Werke und Rauminterventionen aufgefallen. Bekannt wurde er durch seine minimalen, stets äusserst präzisen Eingriffe in Alltagsgegenstände. Auf spielerisch-witzig, manchmal gefährlich wirkende, vor allem aber poetische Weise verwandelt Schlesinger Gegenstände in poetische Skulpturen und Objekte: Da wird aus einem Feuerzeug ein brennendes Öllämpchen, da leben zwei gebogene Belistifte in Zweisamkeit, da züngeln aus Fahrradventilen kleine Flämmchen. Im Kunsthaus Baselland wird Ariel Schlesinger seine bislang grösste institutionelle Einzelausstellung ausrichten. Die Publikation mit Aufnahmen aus der Ausstellung gibt einen erstaunlichen Einblick in das Schaffen dieses spannenden und aussichtsreichen jungen Künstlers. Mit einem Text von Robert Ginsberg sowie einem längeren Interview mit dem Künstler.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Scarce exhibition catalog published on the occasion of Jonathan Monk's 2003 exhibitions at Lisson Gallery, London, and Yvon Lambert, Paris. This volume offers a compelling overview of Monk's conceptual and often self-referential practice, engaging with strategies of appropriation, homage, and institutional critique. Includes contributions from key figures in contemporary art and curatorial practice, including Hans Ulrich Obrist, Sol LeWitt, and Matthew Higgs, among others. The interplay between Monk's own commentary and reflections from these voices situates his work within the broader lineage of conceptual art, while highlighting its wit and critical edge. Richly illustrated with full-color plates and installation views, this catalog is an essential resource for collectors and scholars of contemporary conceptual art. Condition: Very good. Interior clean and crisp, no internal marks.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Oblong 12mo bound in white wrappers. Near Fine. In German and black and white. Limited edition of 800 copies. "In a play on the classic artist's book by Edward Ruscha, Various Small Fires and Milk, a glass of milk is the demonstrative subject of this little book. An initial slide of the glass was duplicated, a duplicate was made of that duplicate, and so on, until there were 51 generations of the original. Matters become complicated when one slide is made from another; new conditions and patterns emerge that can hardly be anticipated. With each generation, the reproduction loses some information, the colors change, definition and resolution suffer, and even the image area itself begins to change. & Milk is a fascinating piece, as well as a fun flip book that appeals to anyone interested in matters of regeneration, duplication, temporality or enjoys plays on Ruscha's work." Essay by Fotolabor Kadmon in German and English. [OJ].

Brossura. Condition: ottimo. prima edizione. Artist's book. Monk s new book "Studio Visit" takes as its starting point a number of Richard Prince s publications. Visually similar to those iconic artist s book of the 1990s, this publication is also very different from them in many other ways. Jonathan Monk opens the door to his secret studio. For many years Monk has been considered an exemplary post-studio artist, working from a small desk, a computer, and a mobile phone. This publication reveals that he actually has a studio in the traditional sense of the word. A space in which he can be free, for a moment, to think about what is to be done and if it has been done already, never mind 154 pp; 17,5x10,5 cm.

Staple-bound. Condition: Condition: very good. First edition. Zürich, Insert for "Parkett", n.68, 2003 + Monk's Translation Piece, 2002, in the same exhibition, involved Chinese whispers-style translations of the catalogue text statement of which Barry's Telepathic Piece is comprised: 'During the exhibition I will try to communicate telepathically a work of art, the nature of which is a series of thoughts that are not applicable to language or image' so that the final confused statement is 'in this image the way of expression of reactions of the soul attempts to come close to a work of art'. In an interview with Monk's curator for this exhibition, Raimundas Malasauskas, Barry discusses art as a form of mysterious vibration and transmission that may start with the artist, but does not end with the artist: "You never know where it goes. You never know about art, you put art into the world, but you never know who sees it or what they are thinking about it."Due to its immaterial and open character it could be also linked with the ideology of an open source software, especially after you've said 'the work is always completed by other people. In one aspect of Jonathon Monk's appropriative adaption of Robert Barry's Telepathic Piece of 1969, viewers talked about the work on air via a short-wave radio transistor provided within the Jan Mot Gallery.

senza rilegatura. Condition: molto buono. prima edizione. Obiect multiple like a Beer Mat , diam. 11 cm. Beer mat with a design by Monk and Gordon for the vernissage at the Sonia Rosso gallery (06/11/2011). At the gallery opening, a lot of people were crowded around the Friends Electric Bar where Douglas Gordon and Jonathan Monk served a bad Guiness and prosecco cocktail to the sound of Gary Numanís music, revisited on the piano. The title of the exhibition at the gallery Sonia Rosso, is the name of a well-known restaurant in Turin Il Gatto Nero'. Here, the two artists had an excellent dinner: tuna bottarga on boiled potato, pappardelle with duck ragout and barbaresco wine . In the gallery the two artists transformed this menu into neon lettering, which turned on and off depending on the duration of the consumption. The effect was to transform the gallery into a piano bar immersed in the colored light intermittently. In the other space of the gallery, there were flayers, postcards, gadgets, posters etc. produced for the many exhibitions of Jonathan Monk on the tables and hung on the walls.

Softcover. Condition: Condition: very good. First edition. Artist's book with alternating printed and blank pages, with an essay in English and German by Susanne Pfeffer. The back cover is systematically torn off. The idea of shooting a Beck's beer clip in Bremen seems as absurd an enterprise as that of crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a one-man sailing boat. In 1975 the Dutch artist Jan Bas Ader actually set out from the eastern coast of the USA in the direction of England in his small sailing boat, Ocean Wave; he has not been seen since. For his new work, artist Jonathan Monk sent out a Thai and a German as location scouts in search of a location in Bremer and Bremerhaven for a Beck's beer clip. On the basis of the photo-graphs they took, Monk then made five 16mm films. Instead of the exotic lands and the boundless seas with which Beck's ads usuall draw viewers' attention, Monk chose everyday places in Bremen, thus contrasting the city with the wide ocean and the emphatically heroic self-understanding of the artist Bas Jan Ader with beer drinking as a domesticated form of intoxication. Monk makes a working principle out of the myth of the disappearing artist. [224] pp; 18,5 x 13 cm.

Softcover. Condition: Condition: very good. First edition. Artist's book published to accompany his 2009 shows The Inflated Deflated and The Deflated Inflated at Casey Kaplan and Lisson Gallery in London. The book begins with a large pink circle obscuring a picture that is slowly revealed as the circle shrinks and gradually turns red, functioning as a flip-book. This reveals a picture of Monk sitting with one of his Deflated Sculptures and a tiny red dot remaining over his nose à la Baldessari. This publication was part of M19's Inventaire Supplémentaire series. [78] pp; 20x17 cm.
