Fotografia Futurista, Carla Sozzani Gallery, 10 June – 1 November, 2015
Curated by Giovanni Lista, an author and art historian specializing in the art of the 1920s, this exhibition contains more than one hundred original futurist photographic prints sourced from private collections, various Italian museums, and the archive of the Fratelli Alinari foundation. In 1930 the founding father of this art movement, the poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti (1876-1944), and his associate Tato (1896-1974), declared in their Founding and Manifesto of Futurism that “photography is a powerful weapon in the futurists' attempts at abolishing the barrier between life and art”. This showing is a rare opportunity to see the experiments undertaken by the followers of futurism in the medium of photography – it is a palpable, artistic execution of the futurism manifesto, not to mention an excellent representation of the energy that seemingly pulsed in the air back then.
