Mutate, don’t stagnate: Mark Mothersbaugh in conversation
Posted By Shelley Salant on Wed, Sep 28, 2016 at 12:35 pm
Mark Mothersbaugh is a composer, musician, and visual artist from Akron, Ohio. He is best known as the co-founder and leader of Devo, a band formed around the concept of de-evolution: the idea that our species has stopped evolving and started going back the other way.
His body of work has recently been collected in a traveling exhibition featuring drawings, paintings, videos, postcards, musical instruments, rugs, and other materials. The retrospective and its accompanying book are titled Myopia, referring to the fact that Mothersbaugh is legally blind.
This Thursday, Sept. 29, Mothersbaugh will visit University of Michigan as part of its Penny W. Stamps lecture series, where he will be in conversation with Myopia’s curator Adam Lerner.
The event takes place in the Michigan Theater — also home to the Ann Arbor Film Festival, which in many ways helped launch Devo’s career. As art students at Kent State, the band made a film called In The Beginning Was The End: The Truth About De-Evolution, which won first prize at the Ann Arbor Film Festival in 1977.
