Michael has an art installation on display at Vacant Gallery in Tokyo this month. His installation is part of a group exhibition called “Act Like You’re Fine” curated by photographer iO Tillett Wright. The exhibition opens on August 12 at the Vacant Gallery, 3-20-13 Jingumae Shibuya, Tokyo.
According to Wright, “‘Act Like You’re Fine’ deals with the things that consume us with obsession to the point of losing our self control – the things that drive us to passionate madness, behavior we don’t recognize, frantic devotion – the feeling that we are not the rider, but are being ridden.” Wright adds, “From lovers to horses, and from internet trysts to the architecture of corners in rooms, all the work in the show is photography based, but includes sculpture, collage, and video pieces” (Michael’s pieces are ‘the architecture of corners of rooms’ as seen on his studio site confessionsofamichaelstipe.tumblr.com/).
