JONATHAN MONK / TIME AND OR SPACE

Jonathan presents a suite of works for the SI: a sampling that shows his particular blend of nostalgia, subtlety and clever playfulness. Time becomes both incidental and precious in this special grouping of 16mm films, slide works, wall texts and other covetable ephemera.
