Venue Name: Artpace - San Antonio
Monk’s Artpace exhibition, Rew-Shay Hood Project Part II, consists of a series of airbrushed car hoods featuring images borrowed from Ed Ruscha’s artist book Twentysix Gasoline Stations. By re-presenting the book-based photographs in sculptural form, Monk transforms the former small scale of the images into something monumental. Moreover, each hood has its own particular shape, lending the work a sculptural physicality absent in the original. Finally, the photomechanical original becomes painterly in the airbrushed hoods, making them softer and more delicate than Ruscha’s project.

These stories are ingrained in our innermost selves as glimpses of the past are reflected in our dreams, myths, and fantasies.

Through this installation the viewer sees myths likened to trying on a dress or wearing a certain cloak.
