mono.kultur #50, Mike Mills: The Tender Spot
€ 15.00
Mike Mills is a US film director and designer, widely acclaimed for his tender and personal and allround heartwarming films and stories, capturing our daily dilemmas of human existence with lighthearted melancholy and a big heart.
Largely influenced by the US punk and skate culture, Mike Mills became first known as a graphic designer for the independent music scene, creating designs for the likes of the Beastie Boys, Sonic Youth, Beck, and Air, and nascent skateboard labels Supreme or X-girl. His work was defined less by style than a singular voice, that used graphic design as a platform for conflicting messages, subtle humor, and a profoundly human touch.
Graphically, three conversations are presented in three separate booklets bound into one volume, which is simple and complicated, straightforward and complex all at the same time, and thus very much like Mills’ work, come to think of it.
