Michael Stipe: Even the birds gave pause
Michael Stipe: Even the birds gave pause presents a series of works-in-progress that continue an exploration of contemporary portraiture, instinct, and abstraction.
Featured in How to Spend It - Financial Times
Classical and conceptual forms create a cohesive whole from seemingly disparate elements, building what is hopefully an inclusive and complete vision, in which the familiar and unfamiliar are given equal grounding. These works-in-progress include plaster, concrete, rotocast plastics, ceramics, bookmaking, and darkroom photographic printing.
Process and the documentation of process become a part of the whole. All of this is done in the buildup to a solo exhibition at the ICA Milano Foundation, opening in December 2023 and continuing into 2024.

About the Author
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. Michael Stipe has published four monographs to date with Damiani: Volume 1 (2018), Our Interference Times: a visual record (2019), Michael Stipe (2021), Even the birds gave pause (2023).
