Language on Fire

Before poetry became safe, Russian Futurism made it dangerous.

Words were broken. Sounds became meaning. The page became a battlefield.

This was not literature as decoration. It was literature as revolt.

A new article on Russian Futurism, zaum, Mayakovsky and the avant-garde imagination.

Communication Design - Week 8 

During this week we looked at futurism, in particular Russian Futurism. Russian futurism was a movement that expressed the principles of Flilippo Marinetti’s, “manifesto of Futurism” which characterises the rejection of the past as well as it was a celebration of speed, machinery, violence, youth, industry, destruction of academies, museums, and urbanism. Above I have attached two famous artefacts from the futurism movement that I will endeavour to research further. 

Design As Art

The first image is a page taken from Bruno Munari’s Design as Art book. Bruno Munari was one of the last surviving members of the futurist generation. Munari philosophy towards design stated that design be beautiful, functional and accessible. Munari encouraged people to go beyond formal conventions and stereotypes by showing them how to widen their perceptual awareness. And this book does just that. The book shows how his ideas about visual, graphic and industrial design plays a role in the objects we use everyday.

The Futurist Cookbook

Commonly mistaken for an easy to read cook book, this cookbook is like no other. The book reflected right-wing Futurist propaganda while taking an avant-garde exploration into the blurred line between food, art, and ideology. A interesting article from Amanda Arnold noted that we now live in a time where cookbooks whether physical or online have become almost a quintessential part of living. And this fact makes “Marinetti feel comically prophetic in a way, leaving you wondering, are we in the true age of Futurism?”.

Russian Futurism: As might be surmised, the cultivated Russian art public was much more hospitable to the new and strange than the Italian. An avid vogue for avantgarde collecting had grown up, the collectors often vying with the artists in bohemian bravado. This was Diaghilev's original world. In October 1913, the Cubo-Futurist writers and painters took to the stage for the first time. Toilet-paper posters announced the event. Mayakovsky took five strolls through Moscow in a yellow shirt made by his mother, a wooden spoon in his buttonhole. To their chagrin the Futurists were rather blandly received, though in the course of later meetings they several times poured hot tea on the first rows and pleaded their thirst for catcalls. A vein of Slavophile conservatism made them less aggressively missionary then the Italians. Yet one of them performed with a urinated dog painting on his cheek "to show his sense of smell" Another had an airplane painted on his forehead "to symbolize universal dynamism." sometimes they read each other's work in concert, sometimes they suspended a piano upside down over the stage.
