A prolific composer, musician, and tinker, Mark Mothersbaugh (b. 1950) has also been making art since before the inception of his trailblazing post-punk band DEVO in 1973. The Grey Art Gallery hosts the first comprehensive exhibition of this remarkably creative artist and polymath, Mark Mothersbaugh: Myopia, on view at New York University from April 25 to July 15, 2017. Also known for his scores for Wes Anderson movies and Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, Mothersbaugh moves freely between the visual arts, music, film, and television. Deftly combing elements drawn from consumer culture with the handmade, he offers a rich investigation of the relationship between technology and individuality in a contemporary capitalist society. Organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, Myopia
