AUTOBIOGRAPHY N.4 by Jonathan Monk

イタリアの出版社「TONINI EDITORE」が、毎月一人のアーティストにフィーチャーし発行するシリーズ、『AUTOBIOGRAPHY』の第4号。デザイン、ページ数が統一された中でアーティストたちは自伝的なテーマをテキストあるいはイメージによって表現している。

第4号は、イギリス人アーティストのジョナサン・モンク(Jonathan Monk)。本作は、映像作品『Crackers』(2013年)が元となっている。作者はある日、エド・ルシェー(Ed Ruscha)のモノクロ写真が収録された『CRACKERS』(1969年)という本を収集し始めた。1960年代から1970年代にかけて、ルシェはアーティスト・ブックを制作していたが、現在ではその多くが希少なものとなっており、アート市場で高い価値を持っている。作者はこの本を執拗に収集し、表紙が次々とカメラの前に現れるように動画を撮影した。本作は、コレクターとしての「アーティスト ジョナサン・モンク」の一種のセルフポートレイトを表現している。

各号のアーティストの選定は、コレクターであり「coleção moraes-barbosa」を主催するペドロ・バルボーザ(Pedro Barbosa)、美術史家のアレックス・ベーコン(Alex Bacon)、ギャラリー「Studio Guenzani」を主宰するクラウディオ・グエンザーニ(Claudio Guenzani)、アーティストであり作曲家、タイポグラファーのミシェル・ロンバルデリ(Michele Lombardelli)、作家であり研究者、インドの「コーチ=ムジリス・ビエンナーレ」の発起人でもあるシュウェタル・アシュヴィン・パテル(Shwetal Ashvin Patel)、コレクターであり学者のクリストフ・シファーリー(Christoph Schifferli)、「homonymous publishing house」のディレクター、ヴァレンティノ・トニーニ(Valentino Tonini)が務める。

Autobiography is a series by Tonini Editore, published monthly.

Each volume will be dedicated to an artist, who will be free to carry out the topic of the autobiography by means of text or visual supports. Belonging to a series, each book will have the same size (17x12 cm) and maximum amount of pages (64).
