Futurism

Opens: 11/06/2009 Closes: 19/09/2009 Tate Modern, London
The Futurist movement’s most productive period spanned barely five years, but its influence was evident in the art of subsequent decades, as demonstrated by the Cubists and Vorticists. This exhibition, marking the centenary of the Italian movement, features well-known Futurist works and rooms dedicated to the movements it inspired.

The Telegraph“Shame on Tate Modern for failing to edit it...” What should have been an eye-opening, groundbreaking show was spoiled for me by a more or less incomprehensible open-plan installation.

The Times“Reassesses the movement and remains astonishing on many levels...” Accustomed to regular revolutions in the speed of travel and of the spread of information, our eyes are no longer astonished by the artistic fireworks of the Futurists. But the impact of their collective work has in no way been diminished...
