For me, it’s like buying gifts for myself and some are really fantastic: occasionally I am really amazed by what I have bought when it arrives, as often the catalogue description does not do justice to the physical object itself. Jonathan Monk
Jonathan Monk is an artist who loves other artists. His work draws on oblique autobiographical references and personal anecdotes together with art historical strategies and legacies to express a critical camaraderie in his subject. Cover Version features a selection of seminal publications from Monks extensive collection of artists books. Sol Le Witt, Lawrence Weiner and Ed Ruscha are represented side by side to form a cogent series, which presents a contemporary investigation into materiality and the problems of signification in conceptual art publishing. An integral section of Cover Version is a transcribed telephone conversation between Jonathan Monk and Seth Siegelaub, which unfolds and discusses their mutual obsession with book making and collecting whilst speculating on the nature of the object. This collectable book also has three different covers designed with its monetary value in euros, dollars and pounds, a direct reference to Lawrence Weiners 1968 publication Statements.

O tema deste livro é a página e as páginas aqui reproduzidas são tomadas de obras de literatura (ou, em alguns casos, livros de arte, especificamente, que derivam da literatura). Eu escolhi apresentá-los tematicamente, formando uma tipologia de páginas auto-reflexivas: páginas negras, páginas em branco, páginas de desenho, páginas fotográficas, páginas de texto, páginas de números e páginas de pontuação. A repetição que isso implica é um tanto enganosa (para começar, o leitor observará as pequenas, mas não insignificantes, diferenças entre as apresentações visuais e verbais); na literatura, esses recursos são frequentemente usados como um contraponto ao que precedeu ou o que vai seguir na narrativa. E o mesmo recurso pode ser utilizado para diferentes fins. Por esse motivo, e porque o livro tenta traçar um panorama do tema através de numerosas obras isoladas e independentes, o leitor encontrará as referências das publicações originais listados na bibliografia.
(Prière d’insérer de Louis Lüthi)
The subject of this book is the page, and the pages reproduced in it are taken from works of literature (or, in some cases, art books that derive specifically from literature). I have chosen to present them thematically, resulting in a typology of self-reflexive pages: Black Pages, Blank Pages, Drawing Pages, Photography Pages, Text Pages, Number Pages, and Punctuation Pages. The repetition this entails is somewhat deceptive (for a start, the reader will observe the slight but not insignificant differences between the visual and verbal presentations); in literature, such devises are often used as a counterpoint to what has preceded or what will follow in the narrative. And the same means may evidently be used to different ends. For these reasons, and because the book attempts only to trace an isolated theme through numerous and often otherwise unrelated works, the reader is in all instances referred to the original publications, which are listed in the bibliography.

4 cantos do mundo é um trabalho feito em 4 partes, as quais estão em acervos de institições públicas em Reykjavik, Awaji City, Devonport e Porto Alegre. Quatro cidades à beira d’água e a milhares de quilômetros de distância entre si. Cada acervo possui 1 canto e as fotografias dos outros 3 cantos. Com este trabalho procuro abranger metaforicamente grande parte do planeta porém sua unidade só se completa na imaginação de cada observador de uma parte do trabalho e/ou leitor da publicação.

4 corners of the world is a work in four parts. These parts are in public collections in Reykjavik, Awaji City, Devonport and Porto Alegre, four cities edged by water and thousands of kilometres apart. Each collection houses one corner and photographs of each of the other three corners. I want to encompass a large part of the planet with this work, which is only completed, however, in the imagination of each spectator of one part of the work and/or the reader of the publication.

“Various Blank Pages é uma referência direta ou uma releitura do “Various Small Fires”, de Edward Ruscha (1964)”
Primeira edição 500 ex., 2009.
Segunda edição 500 ex., 2010.
Produzido em parceria com Doro Boehme, colega que admira as obras em livro de Ed Ruscha. Nosso trabalho na Coleção de Livros de Artista Joan Flasch deu-nos o privilégio de acesso a algumas das mais famosas obras de Ruscha, como Twentysix Gasoline Stations e Nine Swimming Pools, assim como uma visão do excesso de paródias e homenagens que a cena artística produziu. Nós escolhemos juntar esses fenômenos enquanto olhávamos para outro: o gosto pelos espaços vazios de Ruscha.
Various Blank Pages consiste em reproduções de páginas em branco de livros emblemáticos de Ruscha. Diretamente digitalizado das obras originais e projetado para se parecer com uma das suas obras, talvez a melhor parte desse livro é sua função alternativa como um caderno de notas, caso a novidade da peça desapareça.
Produced with Doro Boehme, a fellow admirer of the book works of Ed Ruscha. Our work at the Joan Flasch Artists’ Book Collection at SAIC gives us the privilege of access to some of Ruscha’s most famous and rare book works such as Twentysix Gasoline Stations and Nine Swimming Pools, as well as insight to the glut of knock-offs and homages that the scene produces. We chose to merge these phenomena while looking at another: Ruscha’s love of empty space.
Various Blank Pages consists of reproductions of the blank pages from Ruscha’s iconic books. Scanned directly from the original works and designed to look like one of his, perhaps the best part about this book is its alternate function as a notebook should the novelty of the piece ever fade.

« In 2001, we decided to publish the complete text of The New Five Foot Shelf in one single volume, in softcover, to make it affordable for most people. We gathered the manual of the 1910’s The Five Foot Shelf Of Books and the five chapters together. With kind support of the International Centre of Graphic Arts of Ljubljana, we published in June 2003 The New Five Foot Shelf of Books, presented during the Ljubljana Biennale. The New Five Foot Shelf of Books includes a great deal of biographical references, such as Duchamp’s or Broodthaers’, that we find in the The Three Marcels chapter.
Those references do not belong to public property yet. In the chapter entitled Once upon a time when books were famous, Allen Ruppersberg also uses a lot of authors’ quotes. It became quickly obvious that the commercialization of this book would be impossible without paying rights of mentioned authors. So we decided to publish this book NOT FOR SALE, getting round the law, making the book « out-law », « offside »… and establishing new rules… »
