Together, they cover the ground from Mills’ early days as a graphic designer to the ups and downs of filmmaking. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Graphically, the 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Interviews by Joachim Trier, Experimental Jetset \u0026amp; Feist\u003cbr\u003e Works by Mike Mills \u003cbr\u003eDesign by mono.studio \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e mono.kultur is an independent interview series based in Berlin. Our concept is as simple as it is elegant: one artist \/ one conversation \/ one issue. No more, no less. And so each publication is dedicated exclusively and entirely to one artist, edited with care and in close collaboration with the artist. Each issue is redesigned entirely around the artist and their work.","brand":"mono.kultur","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53600931119446,"sku":"9783949587016-V","price":8.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9783949587016_1_caa386e2-d45a-446b-930e-a804077b98e2.jpg?v=1781720663","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/mike-mills-mono-kultur-50-mike-mills-the-tender-spot-9783949587016","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
