Gallery Opening at FUSE

Saturday, I attended the opening of Beautiful Mutants, a photography project of Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh at the FUSE Gallery in New York City.

This is actually the first time I've seen Mark Mothersbaugh in person. In fact, I really haven't seen him outside of album art, the music videos and the film Human Highway. In the intervening 20 years, Mothersbaugh has aged quite a bit. It's not that he aged badly for someone in his 50s, but when all your memories of him are of someone in his 20s and 30s, to see him as an older man all of a sudden is somewhat jarring. While I was only the most casual of Devo fans (I came to watch Human Highway because my interest in Neil Young), the very knowledge Devo's existence certainly played a role in making the 80s a lot easier to deal with while growing up.

Incidently, Devo is on tour and will be appearing in Portland, OR and Chicago, IL in the near future.

I really, really enjoyed this. The humor works brilliantly, and the animation is much better than I had imagined. The way you have “blended” (hehe) it all together makes this look like a solid, whole product, as good as any Pixar short. Probably better. But then again: That’s my opinion.
