A Tumultuous Assembly: Visual Poems of the Italian Futurists
August 1, 2006–January 7, 2007
The Getty Center

    Words become machines, dancers, and explosions in the visual poetry of 
the Italian Futurists. Dedicated to freeing language from the bonds of the 
old order—syntax, punctuation, the horizontal—these polemicists of the new 
unleashed their "words-in-freedom," broadsheets and prints meant to 
scandalize, incite, and amuse.

See their tumultuous typography in this exhibition in the Getty Research 
Institute Exhibition Gallery.
