Mark Mothersbaugh: Postcard Diaries and Arthur Taussig: Postcards from the Edges of AmericaIrvine Fine Arts CenterBy VICKIE CHANGPublished on June 11, 2009 at 2:42amHes got an uncontrollable urge. When Devos front man isnt being, well, the front man of Devo, Mark Mothersbaugh is busy composing songs for any number of television, film and video-game soundtracks. Maybe youve heard some of them: Rushmore , Rugrats , Sims 2 , The Royal Tenenbaums ? Plus, he instructs kids on the fine art of doodling on Yo Gabba Gabba! You see, Mothersbaugh has been obsessively illustrating on post cards for more than 30 yearsanywhere from one to 25 images per day!for friends and family, as a sort of visual diary. Though these post cards were never meant for public viewing, Mothersbaugh is displaying some of his favorite pieces from the collection in this art-gallery tour. Like his music, the post-card art is a little quirky and off-kilterbut definitely fun. Energy dome not required.
