British conceptual artist Jonathan Monk and the Berlin haubrok foundation are connected through a long-standing friendship and a thriving relation, resulting in joint projects and exhibitions. Monk's printed matter—numerous publications, invitation cards, gallery guides, posters, and editions—is an integral part of the haubrok collection.

Hence, Jonathan Monk: A Bit of Matter and a Little Bit More, published in the wake of the haubrok foundation's exhibition on the grounds of FAHRBEREITSCHAFT in Berlin-Lichtenberg, is an ode to this friendship and to Monk's conceptual approach of incorporating ephemera and artistic artefacts into his practice.

The publication provides an archival, yet personal, overview of Monk's printed matter, complemented by a commentary by publicist and art critic Raimar Stange.
