Dan Mills, essay by Phong Bui. 56 page hardcover book. Santa Monica: Perceval Press, 2009.

"Mills considers imperialism a mediating form that exists between fact and fiction; in this moral maelstrom one thing one is certain: his object of desire inevitably will become our object of desire. Like Fahlström and Lombardi, whose works resist any kind of easy reading of the artist’s political vision of the world, Mills found his refuge in conceptual density and minimal lightness. Ultimately, what holds our interest in Mills’s work is the tension between what is read and what is seen. It’s no longer imagined. It’s made."
