註釋

Box Truck Paintings is an artist's book that presents the series of paintings Pentti Monkkonen exhibited in 2014 at the Hacienda gallery in Zürich and at Truth and Consequences in Geneva. The "paintings" represent a continued engagement with transit, and are actually hybrid combinations of sculpture and painting. The tension inherent in the work evolves from this dual existence: relief sculptures of trucks which are also paintings on the trucks' surface. In order to highlight the correlation between the art market and our oil-based lifestyle and capitalist superstructure, the work creates parallels between techniques of contemporary painting and traditional methods of image-making on the sides of trucks. A conversation-- especially commissioned for this publication¬--between the artist and the writer and curator Aram Moshayedi, brings understandings and highlights on this specific body of work.
