    THE BLANK CONTEMPORARY ART
    99 WORDS WITH JONATHAN MONK

    Quite often I see the works of other artists and think… I like that… how can I use it and make it mine?
    How can I shift the context and create something new, something Jonathan Monk.
    I’m quite sure a lot of artists secretively feel the same…
    Some years ago I was looking through a catalogue of sculptures by George Condo and was pleasantly surprised by the contents – I actually like his paintings and he seems to be a really interestingly obsessed artist. But the sculptures I encountered on the printed page were wildly different to my expectations – I saw large polished stainless steel three dimensional cutout letters spelling out the names of Jazz greats – MILES DAVIES, BIRD (Charlie Parker) and MONK as in Thelonious – I think the rest you can work out for yourself…
