Jonathan Monk (born in 1969, in Leicester, UK) is an artist living and working in Berlin.

Life and career

Art practice

Monk questions the meaning of art using conceptualism in a way that Ken Johnson in The New York Times called "sweet, wry and poetic".[1]

In an interview with David Shrigley, Monk says: "Is it or is it not or can it or can it not be? This is something that has been dealt with within the art world for some time and I guess the unanswerable question keeps us all going..."[2]

"Diecimila" - Facsimile produced and published by mfc-michèle didier, Brussels

2007

"Deadman", selected for the Renaissance Society's 2007 group show, "Meanwhile, In Baghdad..."[3]
