Giovanna Zapperi - Myth versus History: Some Notes on Italian Futurism - 17/03/2018

Giovanna Zapperi looks at Italian Futurism as a relevant historical example of the relation between art and fascist ideology in the early twentieth century. Zapperi considers Futurism as an aesthetic laboratory for the historical rise of Fascism in modern Italy, with particular focus on Futurism’s obsessions with the male body, time, and technology. The gendered dialectics between past and present, which can be observed in the writings of poet F. T. Marinetti and works of painter Umberto Boccioni, forms the core of Futurism’s reconfiguration of history. Even as its avant-garde spirit was marginalized in favor of the typical monumental aesthetic of the ventennio during the late 1920s and 1930s, Fascism never really got rid of Futurism: its representation of myth versus history became one of Italian Fascism’s fundamental features. Propositions #4: Unpacking Aesthetics and the Far Right is part of BAK’s long-term artistic research series and convening platform Propositions for Non-Fascist Living (2017–2020) prompted by the surfacing of contemporary fascisms. This is the fourth performative conference within the series and brings together artists, theorists, and writers to seek ways of unpacking the current relations of art and fascist-curious aesthetics.
