Mark Mothersbaugh
Mark Mothersbaugh is one of this era’s most unique and prolific conceptual artists and composers.
Deeply aware of the ability of precise, multi-faceted artistic expression to deliver vital social commentary, he has perpetually challenged and redefined musical and visual boundaries. Mothersbaugh co-founded the influential rock group DEVO and parlayed his avant-garde musical background into a leading role in scoring for filmed and animated entertainment, interactive media, and commercials.
Mark has scored 150 films, television shows, video games, and hundreds of commercials through his multimedia company, Mutato Muzika.
He has had 165 visual and audio art shows, including his retrospective traveling museum exhibition Myopia.
He has received a doctorate in Humane Letters at Kent State University, his alma mater.
Mark contributed the track “Strip 11” to the Moebius Strips project honoring Swiss/German artist and composer Dieter Moebius released in December 2022. He also provided the cover art for the posthumous Moebius album Aspirin in October 2023.
Mark’s limited art print edition Selections from Apotropaic Beatnik Graffiti was released by Curious Music in January 2024.
