FUTURIST AEROPAINTING. The Italian Avant-garde between the Biennali and the Quadriennali
Curated by Fabio Benzi, among the foremost experts on Futurism, the exhibition focuses on Futurist Aeropainting, that peculiar avant-garde that developed in Italy between the two world wars, from the 1920s to the early 1940s. In particular, the exhibit focuses on the Futurists' participation in the official exhibitions of the period: the International Art Biennali of the City of Venice (1926-1942) and the National Art Quadriennali of Rome (1931-1943). These were two major events in the national exhibition scene. Through these exhibits, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, at the head of the movement, sought to secure official recognition for Italian Futurism and its definitive consecration. Through a careful selection of around 30 pictorial and sculptural works - almost all of which were exhibited in the Venetian and Roman shows - the exhibition aims to restore the historicity of the Futurist phenomenon and the rich variety and originality of the artistic research within it.
