SHOCK AND AWE: THE TROUBLING LEGACY OF THE FUTURIST CULT OF WAR THE KAYE PLAYHOUSE, HUNTER COLLEGE (New York, E 68th Street, Between Park Ave and Lexington Ave) WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2009 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm On the occasion of Performa 09, which this year marks the 100th anniversary of the launch of Futurism, the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College, the Hunter College Department of Art, and PERFORMA present: Shock and Awe: The Troubling Legacy of the Futurist Cult of War One hundred years ago, F.T. Marinetti founded the Futurist movement--one of the most innovative and influential avant-gardes of the twentieth century. On the occasion of the centenary of Futurism, this symposium addresses the uneasy, if powerful, alliance of art and politics. Experts from across the Humanities and Social Sciences ask the questions: how and why was modernism used to legitimize and celebrate modern warfare, especially dominance from the air. This symposium is a must for those interested in the use of aesthetics and visual representation in the shaping of public opinion.
