For the show
at the Art Association of Graz, Jonathan Monk produced a film which
revolved the carousel of artistic values one more time. The starting
point of the film was an artist's book by Ed Ruscha from 1964 that
contained photographs of different burning objects ranging from
a lighter to a jeweler's torch and an oven, along with a photo of
a glass of milk. For the work entitled "Today is just a copy
of yesterday", Jonathan Monk produced a daily duplicate of
a duplicate of a photo of a glass of milk, calling crucially into
question assumptions regarding the origins and reproduction of art.
Slides of these duplicates comprise the artist book "&
