British-born artist Jonathan Monk lives and works in Berlin. Based in conceptualism, Monk’s body of work poses questions about the meaning of art from a formal standpoint, yet in such a way as to engage a certain curiosity and childlike playfulness. Published in conjunction with a solo exhibition at CAC Málaga, this catalogue opens with a reflective essay by Jesús Palomino that shows how the starting point for Monk’s work allows for an experience of communication and encounter, and how it searches for a human touch far from the formal rigidity and conceptual aridity often inherent to this approach. Numerous images of artworks and installation views complete the volume.
