Vicenza, the Future on display at Gallerie d'Italia.

From October 3, 2020 to February 7, 2021, the Gallerie d’Italia - Palazzo Leoni Montanari in Vicenza is hosting the exhibition Futuro. Art and Society from the 1960s to Tomorrow, curated by Luca Beatrice and Walter Guadagnini.

More than ninety works by Italian and international artists, such as Boccioni, Fontana, Christo, Boetti, Rotella, Warhol, Lichtenstein, Rauschenberg, Schifano, and Hirst, from private collections and the Intesa Sanpaolo collection, will be on display.

The exhibition intends to open a reflection on the concept of the future through the visions of art, from the 1960s, the years of the economic boom and consumerism, to a society living at the same time the change of a century and a millennium.

Contemporary art has interpreted the vision of the future, on the one hand linked to progress and technology, and on the other linked to the desire for change to improve society.

The exhibition begins with a prologue devoted to Futurism with works by Boccioni, Depero, Marussig, Zanini, and with two key words: space and time; the former interpreted by Fontana, Munari, Klein; the latter by the irony of Baj and the insights of artists such as Boetti, Cattelan, Mari, Paolini, and Turcato.

Against the backdrop of a series of large photographs from the Archivio Publifoto Milano, part of the Intesa Sanpaolo collection, five sections will follow.

"The Future is the Present" from the 1960s,"The Future is the Political" from the 1970s,"The Future is Success" from the 1980s,"The Future is Posthuman" from the 1990s and"The Future is Environment" from the first decades of the millennium.
