Art SPOTTED. Italian Futurism, Reconstructing the Universe | Guggenheim. Parole in libertà, or words-in-freedom is one of themes being explored at this significant Guggenheim show. The Futurists liberated words and letters from conventional presentation by destroying syntax, using verbs in the infinitive, eliminating adjectives and adverbs, abolishing punctuation, inserting musical and mathematical symbols, and employing onomatopoeia. Words-in-freedom poems were read as literature, experienced as visual art, and performed as dramatic works. Truly, an amazing period in 20th century art, as well as one of the museum’s finer moments. If culture is on the radar for the summer, this should be part of the program (show closes Sept. 1)…
