Mike Mills: �The Only Way Out Is Through�
Pool Gallery, Berlin, DE Germany

The Pool Gallery in Berlin presents Mike Mills: �The Only Way Out Is Through� on exhibit from 31 January to 14 March, 2009. Mike Mills, born in Berkeley, California in 1966, may rightly be called a good all-rounder: So far, he has made a name for himself as a director and graphic designer. Having successfully directed commercials, short films and music videos for Yoko Ono, Air, Pulp and Zoot Woman, he made his debut in 2005 with the highly praised feature film �Thumbsucker� (featuring, among others, Keanu Reeves, Tilda Swinton and Vince Vaughn). He also became famous for his album cover designs. His repertoire includes design and music classics for artists such as Sonic Youth, Beastie Boys, Beck and Air, but also for fashion labels such as Supreme, Marc Jacobs or X-Girl. In his works, Mike Mills successfully creates a lifestyle without ever lapsing into banality or losing a sense of pretension. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

Exciting works of sculpture, painting, digital art, and drawing are brought together to survey the state of contemporary art. The artists included in Contemporary Perspectives have traversed very distinctive avenues of creativity. Yet this group remains unified in a common spirit of optimism and a determined belief in the power of art. The works explore both our modern civilization and its pastoral roots through slick abstractions and stunning photorealism. Featured in the exhibition is D. Loren Champlin who has been a Premiere Portfolio Artist at absolutearts.com since 2007. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
