1909 - 2009: 100 Years of Futurism

The centenary of the publication of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's “Manifesto of Futurism” in the Parisian newspaper Le Figaro will be celebrated on 20 February 2009.
A series of exhibitions on the Movement will be held throughout 2009: from Giacomo Balla and Futurist Modernity (Milan) to Depero and the theatre (Rome), “Futurismo 100°” at MART and the reopening of the “Casa del Mago”, i.e. the old Museo Depero in Rovereto.
The exhibition with the greatest international resonance will be “Futurism 1912” at the Centre Pompidou in Paris (opens 15 October 2008), which moves to the Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome in February 2009. The exhibition analyses the Movement, starting from the first exhibition in Paris at the Barheim Jeune gallery held by Boccioni, Severini, Carrà and Russolo, not yet Futurists but already major forces behind what is considered the greatest truly Italian art movement (and more) of the 20th century.

Exhibition organised and curated by the IMA Institute of Media Archaeology
at the Kulturfabrik Hainburg
in co-operation with the Vienna Museum of Technology
