✦内容简介——

R.E.M. 乐队背后的艺术多面手探索肖像画的魅力

麦可·史戴普（Michael Stipe）是 20 世纪 90 年代轰动国际的 R.E.M. 乐队的主唱，在成功进军音乐领域之前，他曾是雅典佐治亚大学视觉艺术专业的学生。2011 年乐队解散后，斯蒂普回到了他的爱好：创作插图、摄影和雕塑。他的日记体摄影作品也许是他著名的作品，此前他曾与达米亚尼合作出版过三本摄影集，其中大部分都是肖像作品。

在这第四本摄影集中，肖像画再次成为焦点。不过这一次，麦可·史戴普通过石膏、混凝土、滚塑、书籍制作、陶瓷、视频和暗室照片印刷等多种媒介来阐述肖像的形式。这本书重视过程而非产品，展示了一系列进行中的作品，继续对当代肖像、本能和抽象进行探索。古典和概念形式从看似不同的元素中创造出一个具有凝聚力的整体，形成一个包容和完整的愿景，在这个愿景中，熟悉和陌生被赋予了同等的基础。这本画册与史戴普在米兰国际当代艺术中心举办的个展同期出版，该展览于 2023 年 12 月开幕，将持续到 2024 年 3 月。

麦可·史戴普（Michael Stipe，1960 年出生）是一位来自纽约的艺术家，曾学习过摄影和绘画，后来在 R.E.M. 乐队成立时离开了学校。他在艺术学生时期开始形成的感性认识，在他为 R.E.M. 乐队所做的工作中得到了很好的体现，从所有平面、视频和舞台设计的艺术指导，到写作、作曲和表演，以及他标新立异的个人风格。

The artistic polymath behind R.E.M. explores the potency of portraiture

Before his wildly successful foray into music―as frontman of the 1990s international sensation R.E.M.―Michael Stipe was a visual arts student at the University of Georgia in Athens. After the band dissolved in 2011, Stipe returned to his first love: generating illustrations, photography and sculptures. His diaristic photographs are perhaps his best known works, and he has previously published three photobooks with Damiani that largely consisted of portraits.

In this fourth publication, portraiture once again takes focus. This time, however, Stipe articulates the form through a plethora of mediums: including plaster, concrete, rotocast plastics, bookmaking, ceramics, video and darkroom photographic printing. The book privileges process over product, displaying a series of works in progress that continue an exploration of contemporary portraiture, instinct and abstraction. Classical and conceptual forms create a cohesive whole from seemingly disparate elements, culminating in an inclusive and complete vision, in which the familiar and unfamiliar are granted equal grounding. The volume is published in conjunction with Stipe’s solo exhibition of his artwork at the ICA Milano, which opened in December 2023 and will be up through March 2024.

The New York City–based artist Michael Stipe (born 1960) studied photography and painting before leaving school upon the formation of R.E.M. 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 designs, to writing, composing and performance, and his iconoclastic personal style.
