The Russian Futurism

It's time to go Back...to the Future. By which I mean, we're going back into the past to talk about Futurism. Which seems like it would be cool, but it was started by this terrible guy Martinetti, who also wrote the Italian Fascist manifesto. He was just the worst, but, at least he was the worst in a way that makes a pretty compelling video.
We'll also check in with the Russian theater, and learn about generally nicer Futurist Vsevolod Meyerhold, who also was vey influential in constructivism. So get ready to fire up the meaning machine and learn!

“The caffeine of Europe,” as he liked to call himself, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti was the godfather of Futurism, Italy's most coherent artistic movement of the 20th century. In this video, you'll learn why Futurism attacked traditions, promoted "the beautiful ideas which kill" and claimed that beauty exists only in struggle.

On October 30, 2015, the NYU Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia hosted the launch of the English-language edition of Vasily Kamensky’s “Tango with Cows,” curated by Eugene Ostashevsky and Daniel Mellis.

Tango with Cows, a book of Russian Futurist visual poetry, was published in the spring of 1914, at roughly the same time as the Zang Tumb Tumb of F.T. Marinetti and the first calligrammes of Guillaume Apollinaire. The Petersburg avant-garde writer Kamensky became the first European poet to train as an airplane pilot until crashing his Blériot XI during a show flight returned him to literature. As third partner of the Russian Futurist tour of 1913-1914 with Vladimir Mayakovsky and David Burliuk, Kamensky eagerly innovated in the fields of book art and visual poetry, printing his typographical experiments on brashly colored wallpaper. Composed at the height of the Russian tango craze, Tango with Cows provides us pictures of Moscow’s nightlife circa January 1914—the movies, the circus, the skating rinks, the modernist art gallery, the after-hours clubs, and, last but not least, the public baths—as it reminisces about the author’s flying over Warsaw and sailing to Constantinople. Ostashevsky and Mellis’s typographic translations of Kamensky, winners of the PEN/Heim Translation Fund grant, are being issued to celebrate the hundredth—or rather the hundred-and-first-and-a-halfth–anniversary of the original Russian publication.

David Davidovich Burliuk, Ukrainian/Russian (1882 - 1967)
David Burliuk was a central figure in the history of the Russian avant-garde movement as an accomplished poet, art critic, and exhibition organizer. "He was one of the world's first hippies, and painted the words 'I Burliuk' on his forehead and stood on street corners reciting poetry."
He was born into a privileged class of Russian society. His wife was educated with the Czar's children, and he was well positioned to become an artistic leader. Burliuk studied at the Kazan School of Fine Arts in 1898 and then studied in Odessa, Moscow, Munich, and in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. His early works were fauve-like, "violent in color and heavy with paint" and were exhibited with the Blue Riders in Munich.
In Russia, as a breaker of artistic tradition, he was expelled in 1911 from the Moscow Institute. With other futurists, he undertook a public campaign with lectures, journals and films--all focused on the craziness of modern, industrial life.
With the advent of World War I, he left Russia and traveled for four years including to Siberia, Japan, and the South Seas. To start all over again, he moved to America in 1922 and settled on Long Island where he continued to paint until his death there in 1967. After his arrival in New York in 1922, he struggled to survive, but he would eventually gain a significant following in American would end up widely exhibiting his paintings up until two years before his death in 1967. The 1965 introductory note for Burliuk's final exhibition, Farewell Exhibition of New Paintings which was held at the ACA Gallery in New York, poignantly summarizes the artist's career: "Through the years, Burliuk has traveled the world over, painting in many countries and returning with the fruits of his labors to give many memorable exhibitions. Today, a Burliuk evokes a glowing and vibrant recollection of his early years, as well as his enduring love of nature. His brilliantly colored canvases are ablaze with vitality and the joy of living."
His subjects range from neo-primitive paintings to peasant life in Russia to futurist depictions of South Sea fishermen. Much of his painting in Russia vanished in the Russian Revolution. Throughout his life, Burliuk was innovative, energetic and upbeat. In the United States, he developed his "radio style", a style that involved symbolism, neo-primitivism, and expressionism. "But Burliuk's early work in pre-revolutionary experimental art was his most creative."
大衛·多維奇·伯利亞克，烏克蘭/俄羅斯（1882年至1967年）
戴維·伯克是在俄羅斯的前衛運動的歷史作為一個有成就的詩人，藝術評論家，以及展會主辦方的中心人物。 “他是世界上第一個嬉皮士之一，並塗寫著”我伯利亞克“在他的額頭和站在街角背詩。”
他出生於特權階級的俄羅斯社會。他的妻子與沙皇的子女教育，他能很好地成為藝術領袖。 伯利亞克就讀於美術學院喀山在1898年，然後在敖德薩，莫斯科，慕尼黑研究，並在巴黎的巴黎美術學院。他的早期作品是野獸派狀，“在色彩的暴力和重配漆”，並展出了在慕尼黑的藍騎士。
在俄羅斯，由於藝術傳統的斷路器，他在1911年從莫斯科學院開除。與其他未來學家，他答應與演講，雜誌和電影一個公共活動 - 都集中在現代工業生活的瘋狂。
隨著第一次世界大戰的到來，他離開俄羅斯，前往四年，包括西伯利亞，日本和南海。要從頭再來，他於1922年移居美國，並在長島定居在那裡他繼續在1967年有畫畫，直到去世，他在紐約的到來，1922年後，他掙扎著生存，但他最終還是會獲得顯著在美國之後竟又廣泛展出他的畫作，直到他於1967年。1965年按語伯利亞克的最後展覽，這是在ACA畫廊在紐約舉行新作品的告別展去世前的兩年裡，尖銳地總結了藝術家的職業生涯。 “這些年來，伯利亞克周遊世界各地，畫在許多國家，並與他的勞動成果返回給許多難忘的展覽。今天，伯利亞克喚起一個容光煥發的他早年充滿活力的回憶，以及他的不朽對大自然的熱愛。他的色彩鮮豔的畫布上滿是活力和生活的樂趣“。
他的主題從新原畫到農民生活在俄羅斯的南海漁民的未來學家的描繪。他的大部分在俄羅斯繪畫的消失在俄國革命。縱觀他的一生，是伯利亞克創新，充滿活力和樂觀。在美國，他開發了他的“廣播式”，所涉及的象徵，新原始主義，和表現風格。 “但伯利亞克革命前的實驗藝術在早期的工作是他最有創意的。”

Globus Books presents James Richie's talk Translating Futurism: Khlebnikov and Guro.

As an artistic and literary movement, Russian futurism has diverse origins. Foremost, it is an extension of Italian futurism, which was an Avant-guard movement, which emerged from charismatic figures like F.T. Marinetti. The Russian futurists, however, reject the Fascist tendencies of the Italian movement. There was also substantial influence from previous Russian art (impressionism) and literature (symbolism). James Richie will discuss the work by artist Elena Guro whose work evidences many of the trends in the transition from symbolism to futurism. As it became established, futurism adopted a poetics called “zaum” or “beyonsence” (meaning beyond the sensical) which challenged the very conventions of language itself. Velimir Khlebnikov, a master of this poetic style, will be the other writer discussed.

James Richie is originally from Minnesota. He holds a Master of Arts in Language, Literature, and Translation from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. While he primarily studied Italian to English translation, his interest in Italian literature and the Russian language lead him to have a strong interest in the Russian futurist movement. He has published English translations of works by Khlebnikov, Kruchyonikh, and Guro. He frequently publishes translations in Four Centuries – Russian Poetry in Translation, and his translation of a Guro play will be published in the December 2020 issue of the University of Zadar’s [sic] - a journal of literature, culture and literary translation. He also publishes translations of Italian and Spanish translations in Ezra an Online Journal of
Translation. He read his translation of a Khlebnikov poem as part of this year’s Alexis Levitin Bilingual Reading Series at the American Literary Translators Association Conference.

Futurism is not just an artistic sensibility but first and foremost a way of thinking. Futurists declared a cult of the future and set out to create a new formal aesthetics and with it a new type of society conjoined by shared labour. The Soviet Russia took on the ideas of futurists with enthusiasm. The projects of Russian avant-garde architects – El Lisitsky, Ivan Leonidov, Yakov Chernikhov and many others – had a defining influence on architecture all around the world. Many international architects pay homage to Russian futurist designs and evolve their ideas of the interconnection of architecture and social innovation.

What is the secret of the influence of Russian Futurism?
What was its impact on the revolution and the emergence of a new country?
How did it affect the culture and architecture of the 20th century in Russia and in the world?
Have the ideas of Futurism been exhausted and if it is necessary to give them a new sound?

Last week, the country passed a new law banning journalists or publications that aren’t run by the state from covering the space program and industry, threatening that any who continue to do so would be deemed “foreign agents.”Officials have repeatedly criticized and threatened to abandon the International Space Station, despite building and launching new modules — and a film crew — to the orbital outpost.
