, as they felt the weight of past cultures was extremely oppressive, particularly in Italy. The Futurists instead proposed an art that celebrated modernity and its industry and technology.
The Futurists sought to sweep away what they believed were outdated, traditional notions about art. Instead, they wanted to replace these with an energetic celebration of the machine age. The key focus was to represent a dynamic vision of the future. As such, they often portrayed urban landscapes and new technologies including trains, cars and airplanes. They glorified speed, violence and the working classes, believing they would advance change.
In order to achieve movement and dynamism in their art, the Futurists developed techniques in order to express speed and motion. These techniques included blurring and repetition. They also made use of lines of force – a method which they had adapted from the Cubists. The Futurists worked across a wide range of art forms including painting, architecture, sculpture, literature, theatre and music.
Arguable the most iconic Futurist artwork ever made, Umberto Boccioni’s Unique Forms of Continuity in Space is a “Cubo-Futurist” figure striding in forward motion. The figure’s powerful legs seem to be marching ahead, carved by forces such as wind and speed. This modern-man machine can be read as an allegory for Italy’s quest to define itself as a modern nation.
Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash is Balla’s best-known work, and shows a dachshund on a leash and the feet of the lady walking it in rapid motion. Balla achieved this motion by blurring and multiplication of their legs and feet.
The Funeral of the Anarchist Galli is one of Carrà’s most famous works. Angelo Galli was an anarchist and labour organiser in Milan who was killed by the police during a strike in 1904. Since they feared that Galli’s funeral would turn into a political demonstration, the state sent police to obstruct anarchists from entering the cemetery. When they resisted, police responded with force and a fight broke out. Carrà witnessed the event and captured the intensity and chaos of the scene, as well as the rapid movement, in this painting.
Gino Severini’s dancer is depicted in the centre of the painting, and is composed of dynamic intersecting lines and swirling fabric. Concentric circles lead outwards to the edges of the painting, and each circular layer contains fragmentary images of musicians, instruments and audience members. This is meant to capture the essence and dynamism of the performance.
Futurism was at its most influential and active between 1909 and 1914. During the war, the first wave of Italian Futurism came to an end when some members of the group withdrew, and others turned to different styles. However, after the First World War, Marinetti revived the group. This revival attracted a new set of artists and it became known as second generation Futurism.
Futurism is one of the most politicised art movements ever to have existed. Many Italian Futurists were supporters of Fascism. They were strongly patriotic, supportive of violence, and opposed to parliamentary democracy. In 1922, when Mussolini came into power, Futurism was officially accepted by the Fascists. As long as the art served to support their political agenda, they were satisfied. Later on, after the fall of Fascism, many Futurist artists were negatively affected by their association with Fascism.
The Italian Futurists influenced many artists and other art movements. Vorticism was inspired by Cubism and Futurism, embracing dynamism, the machine age, and modernity. It is often regarded as the British equivalent to Futurism, yet its founder, Wyndham Lewis, deeply disliked the Futurists. In Russia, artists like Natalia Goncharova were embarking on their own Futurist explorations – Russian Futurism is usually considered a separate movement, but some of its artists did engage with Italian Futurism.

Oneohtrix Point Never will soon resurface with a new album. On October 1, Warp Records will release R Plus Seven, the follow-up to Daniel Lopatin’s outstanding 2011 LP Replica. The upcoming full-length will be the one-man band’s first record for Warp, who clearly have a preference for experimental, sample-heavy projects (see Boards of Canada’s latest effort, the Essential Tomorrow’s Harvest).
Fans won’t have to wait for this 10-track collection to hear new Oneohtrix Point Never tunes, though. Lopatin served as executive soundtrack producer and music supervisor on Sofia Coppola’s latest film, The Bling Ring, which sees wide theater release on June 21. The electronic mastermind worked on the movie’s original score with longtime Coppola collaborator Brian Reitzell.
Earlier this year, Lopatin reissued his early Oneohtrix Point Never work as the Rifts box set. In 2012, he teamed with Tim Hecker to release the largely improvised Instrumental Tourist LP.
Scroll down for the track listing to R Plus Seven, followed by tour dates. Pre-orders of the impending album — in double-vinyl and CD formats — are currently available here.
8 Hours' Overtime For A Good Cause is a yearly event at which people around the world get together in their own cities to donate 8 hours of their free time to local causes.
One night a year people around the world get together to donate 8 hours of their time to good causes. 8 Hours' Overtime for a Good Cause International (8-i) is an initiative that supports young creatives worldwide to meet new friends and collaboratively support local charities. Join them on Friday 29 March 2019!
Every year hundreds of people collectively donate thousands of hours of overtime to many good causes. 8-i has taken place worldwide in cities like Amsterdam, Bratislava, Caïro, Istanbul, Münster, Rio de Janeiro, Vienna and of course Pietermaritzburg :) Feel your hometown should be in the list of this years edition?
Participants of 8-i have helped charities with communication plans, websites, logo’s, identities, merchandise, marketing campaigns and other products and concepts. Are you a young creative (in any way imaginable) and can you spare some overtime or do you want to participate in 8-i in any other way?
From just one city in the Netherlands in 2004 to numerous cities all over the world. See if your hometown is already listed!There was no snap moment. There was no transition. I did not feel different. My son came out and was laid on my wives stomach. He was a pale gray, covered with splotches of blood and barely moved with one eyeball staring lifelessly out at us. I cried. I had never been so frightened in my life. The NICU doctors grabbed him and screamed for outside help. His heart rate was dropping and my wife was crying now. She didn’t know what was happening and neither did I. I said I did, but I didn’t. Everything was fine I told myself, as my wife listened. I cried.
I did not feel what they said I’d feel. It was me. I felt like I had always felt. I was Blake. I was Blake with tears in his eyes, looking at his wife who had just revealed she was one of the mightiest women he had ever seen. He admired her. He respected her. He praised her. I was Blake filled with anxiety at the possible harm of his child and the fact that life would no longer be the same. I did not become another person, but I did take one in. As he animated with oxygen now flowing through his system, I realized he was mine. He was ours. We made him, I made him. There was truly something special about that, and then again, there was truly something normal about that. This feeling was not unique to me. It had been happening for centuries, millennia. Millions of people before me had experienced it, and millions after me will.
I tapped into something human. I wasn’t all of a sudden someone else. I was the same old me, only now I had created life. There was something even greater about that story to me. The same old me could create life and be a father. I didn’t have to become something or someone else, I didn’t have to have a moment, I didn’t have to have anything.
As I am, I can be a father. And so can anyone else. What a weird place we live in.<gh_stars>10-100
