Color photographic illus. Photographic postcard, mailed. Brooklyn, NY: Jonathan Monk & Jonathan A. Hill Bookseller Inc., 2023. The latest edition in Jonathan Monk s series of photographic postcards. Postcards are signed by the artist and mailed (post-paid) from the mailbox pictured on the front, which is located in Brooklyn Heights, near the northern entrance of the Promenade. The final condition of each postcard rests with the vagaries of the postal system. Monk (b. 1969) has previously organized these postcard editions in Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Mexico, Winnipeg, Llandudno, Reykjavik, Kirby Muxloe, Vienna, Melbourne, Dublin, Tokyo, San Francisco, Malmo, Basel, etc. ? From the ongoing conversation between Adam Carr and Jonathan Monk published by Collecteurs (accessed April 2023): "I d been thinking about postcard pieces and how I could make something really specific to a particular post box. The post box, for me, was a really important receptacle for communication. Sadly, it s becoming a dysfunctional part of our lives I ve lost faith in the postal system… but anyway, the title was the thing that got me excited by the idea simply descriptive but funny and poetic. Once I set the idea in motion it was quite easy to add cities to the list all I need is a willing participant to post off the cards. These people generally become the publishers." "Jonathan Monk is engaged in an on-going series of signed postcard editions all with the same title, Picture Post Card Posted from the Post Box Pictured. At his solo ICA exhibition in London in December 2005, Monk made a postcard of the nearest postbox to the gallery, in Waterloo Place, to add to the similar postcards already published for shows in New York, Edinburg, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, and so on."
