In 1993 curator Moritz Küng was invited to make a show in Galerie van Gelder & AP. For that he invited graphic designers Mevis & Van Deursen (Amsterdam) to make an announcement poster for an exhibition called ‘Uitnodiging!’. The announcement poster of Mevis & Van Deursen shows a crying black woman that could be understood as one that is either crying or laughing, or both perhaps. For the exhibition itself another poster was designed depicting a woman wearing sun glasses.

Each artist’s book contains 50 pages of color photographs documenting the creation of an edition of Jonathan Monk posters. All ten books come in different couver colours, in original cellophane wrapping. No wonder Jonathan Monk says during a studio interview by U. G. Lambert, 26 April 2012: “… Once something has been done, it can be done again in a different colour.” This stack of ten books in different colours demonstrate this idea, in an almost sculptural way.
