Meeting #100

Jonathan Monk
Meeting #100 is one in a series of text works by Jonathan Monk. In this series, the artist attempts to organize meetings somewhere in the world. The audience is given the details of a meeting—the place, date and time—and nothing more. Meeting #100 specifies a meeting at “The Clock Tower, Leicester, England, May 7th 2024, Noon”. While the work indicates a very specific appointment in the future, the reason or goal of the meeting is intentionally unclear. This basic principle and structure always remains the same throughout the series. The invitation to meet is potentially open to an audience of thousands, which is theoretically more likely to result in a rally or demonstration rather than a brief encounter. The reception of the work changes at the very moment of the meeting, when anticipation gives way to memory and nostalgia.
Jonathan Monk re-fashions and re-examines seminal works of Conceptual and Minimal art through witty, ingenious, and irreverent means. Through wall paintings, monochromes, ephemeral sculpture, and photography, Monk reflects on the tendency of contemporary art to canabilize references, while paying homage to figures such as Sol LeWitt, Ed Ruscha, Bruce Nauman and Lawrence Weiner. Monk’s art practice does not follow any specific style; it doesn’t contain any common characteristic to identify his work at first glance. The amount and variety of his works poses questions about what supports them. Demystifying the creative process, Monk often employs appropriation, humor, irony, and anecdote in his work. To enter an exhibition of works by Jonathan Monk is like taking part in a treasure hunt, made up of digressions and space-time manipulations.
