Back to the Futurism: Otis College Celebrates Movement's 100th Anniversary

One hundred years ago next Friday, F. T. Marinetti and his speed-loving Italian chums stood “on the world’s summit” to “launch once again [their] insolent challenge to the stars!” That is, they published “The Futurist Manifesto” on the front page of Le Figaro, kicking off the avant-garde movement to the bedfuddlement of the “gangrene of professors, archaeologists, tour guides, and antiquaries” that they so despised. The Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles isn’t about to let this milestone anniversary pass without the quirky celebration it deserves.

On Friday, February 20, Otis will host “Futurism + 100,” an evening of music, poetry readings, short films, and art.
