The City Rises
A contemporary group show that explores the 20th century concept of Futurism in the new millennium. Born in the early 1900s in Italy, Futurism was an artistic and social movement characterized by a passion for technology, youth, and urban machination. Blending elements of Neo-Impressionism and Cubism, Futurism embodied the inherent chaos and marvel of industrialization, while rejecting the traditional institutions of the past. This self-proclaimed movement vowed to:
"…fight with all our might the fanatical, senseless and snobbish religion of the past" and "elevate all attempts at originality, however daring, however violent...[to] support and glory in our day-to-day world, a world which is going to be continually and splendidly transformed by victorious Science."
– Manifesto of Futurist Painters, 1910
In the hyper-technologized city of San Francisco, the frisson of modernity and the old order still persists. Titled after what is considered to be the first Futurist painting by Umberto Boccioni, this exhibition presents visions of Futurism by six Bay Area artists from their unique vantage point in 2021. By directly representing the clamor, discord, and energy of contemporary reality, the possibilities of what could be become clearer, instead of yearning for a more beautiful past that can no longer exist.
