On February 6, 2014, the [[Museum of Contemporary Art Denver]] (MCA Denver) announced a retrospective exhibition to bring together the first comprehensive presentation of Mothersbaugh's art and music. This nationally touring exhibition was accompanied by a publication, ''Mark Mothersbaugh: Myopia'', published by [[Princeton Architectural Press]].<ref>{{citation |url=http://mcadenver.org/myopia.php |title=Mark Mothersbaugh Myopia |access-date=August 4, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150707061003/http://mcadenver.org/myopia.php |archive-date=July 7, 2015 }}</ref> 50 selections of postcard art from ''Myopia'' were published as a postcard book titled ''Mark Mothersbaugh: Collected Facts & Lies'' in 2015.

As a prelude to the ''Myopia'' exhibit opening in [[Cincinnati]], Ohio, Mothersbaugh held a concert gathering which included Devo songs and movie scores played in a classical style, an address to the audience with anecdotes, and musical pieces he specifically composed for a six-keyboard hybrid originally used for teaching lessons, that was refurbished by his brother Bob and contained a counter in the center for keeping time. The instrument was played by six people simultaneously.<ref name="Pitchfork">{{cite web |url=https://pitchfork.com/features/5-10-15-20/devo-mark-mothersbaugh-music-that-made-him-interview/ |title=Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh on the Music That Made Him |work=[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]] |last=Minsker |first=Evan |date=May 18, 2020 |access-date=April 1, 2023 |archive-date=April 1, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230401023122/https://pitchfork.com/features/5-10-15-20/devo-mark-mothersbaugh-music-that-made-him-interview/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.citybeat.com/news/music-mark-mothersbaugh-12218985 |title=Music: Mark Mothersbaugh |last=Rosen |first=Steven |work=[[Cincinnati CityBeat]] |date=August 26, 2015 |access-date=April 1, 2023 |archive-date=April 2, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230402005148/https://www.citybeat.com/news/music-mark-mothersbaugh-12218985 |url-status=live }}</ref>
