Influential musician and interdisciplinary visual artist Mark Mothersbaugh currently has a retrospective on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver titled "Mark Mothersbaugh: Myopia." While most know Mothersbaugh for his work with pioneering New Wave band DEVO, "Myopia" aims to present the full scope of his creative prowess. In addition to documentation of the band, the exhibit features original drawings, audio-visual installations, sculptures, video animations and works in many other media dating from the 1970s (before Mothersbaugh co-founded DEVO) to today. The show will be on view at the MCA Denver through April 12, 2015 before it travels through several other US art museums through 2017. Take a look at some of the works in the show below.
The brutal paintings of Cleon Peterson (covered here) have a visceral effect on the viewer, plunging them deeply into a world of chaos, ruin and violence. On August 29th, Peterson brings his iconic style to Detroit's Library Street Collective for his latest exhibition, "Poison." "The show is about revenge, which is a current of poison running through our culture and other cultures around the world." Peterson shares. "It's often a motivation for war and a justification for punishment. It is a social impulse that is destructive and easy to be complicit in." Peterson is deliberate in his unflinching presentation of the darker side of human nature. In this world, muscle-headed brutes cross swords and knives, locked in a cycle of aggression.
On April 24, Paradigm Gallery + Studio in Philadelphia will debut two solo shows that explore humans' connection to nature: Nicomi Nix Turner's "No God for a Wanderer" and Sarah Louise Davey's "The Garden of No Distant Place." While Davey works in clay and Turner, in pencil, the two artists share a common interest in feminine, nymph-like characters that seem to belong in the wild.
Mark Mothersbaugh is a legendary figure for fans of art and music culture. Although he is best known as the co-founder of the band Devo, he was a prolific visual artist before the start of the band. Mothersbaugh wears countless creative hats and seems to move easily between his multitude of jobs. On the bottom floor of his music production company Mutato Muzika in Los Angeles is where he keeps all of his most personal and creative ideas. A notorious collector of memories and never one to throw anything away, from drawings on cocktail napkins to club membership cards, his studio is a real brain factory for all things Mothersbaugh. Everything finds a way into his art.
