迈克尔·斯蒂普(生于1960年)是乔治亚大学艺术专业的一名本科生,他在R.E.M.乐队成立前学习摄影和绘画。R.E.M.乐队在2011年解散前,他一直担任乐队的领唱和歌手/作曲人。作为一名艺术专业的学生,他开始培养自己的情感,这种情感在他为R.E.M.工作的范围内转移,从艺术指导所有的平面、视频和舞台设计,到写作、作曲和表演,以及他颠覆传统的个人风格。斯蒂普在上世纪80年代和90年代的流行文化中作为一个媒体人物的知名度在当时的审美趋势上留下了不可磨灭的印记,其中许多已经渗透到当代文化中。 Volume 1 focuses on my timeline, on the work I've done all along, parallel to the band and back to my early 20s.” ―Michael Stipe
Volume 1 is the first in a series of publications presenting different aspects of Michael Stipe’s multifaceted artistic practice.
Volume 1 includes a focused presentation of 35 images, bringing together 37 years of Stipe’s practice of creating and collecting photographic materials, in addition to posing as a subject in the photographs of others. The book centers around his unconventional and deeply personal understanding of queerness, conflating figures in his own life with those in American history and popular culture. Throughout the book, the formal qualities of images often relate in a poetic or lyrical way, allowing for unlikely juxtapositions and connections to emerge between subjects. These relationships transcend logical associations between time, place and social structures.
Volume 1 is produced in collaboration with artist Jonathan Berger and designer Julian Bittiner.
As an undergraduate studio art major at the University of Georgia, Michael Stipe (born 1960) studied photography and painting before leaving school upon the formation of R.E.M., the band for which he served as frontman and singer/songwriter until its dissolution in 2011. The sensibility that he began to develop during his time as an art student transferred to the spectrum of his work for R.E.M., from art directing all graphic, video and stage design, to writing, composing and performance, and his iconoclastic personal style. Stipe’s visibility as a media figure in the popular culture of the 1980s and ‘90s left an indelible mark on the aesthetic trends of the time, many of which have trickled down to contemporary culture.
