Interestingly, Dale M Houstman says /Will Dockery and Dennis M
Hammes/... but really it looks like Dale just wants us to move over
and give him some room.
> You got enough grease
No, but it looks like you like taking it rough, Amanda.

To which I responded -

''...The cry of rebellion which we utter associates our ideals with
those of the Futurist poets. These ideas were not invented by some
aesthetic clique. They are an expression of a violent desire, which
burns in the veins of every creative artist today. ... We will fight
with all our might the fanatical, senseless and snobbish religion of
the past, a religion encouraged by the vicious existence of museums.
We rebel against that spineless worshipping of old canvases, old
statues and old bric-a-brac, against everything which is filthy and
worm-ridden and corroded by time. We consider the habitual contempt
for everything which is young, new and burning with life to be unjust
and even criminal...'' -Giacomo Balla and Gino Severini, Manifesto of
the Futurist Painters, 1910.

Gotta love Futurist Manifestos. I could read 'em all day long.
Actually, I have done so many times in my FSU days. Never mind that
they were sexist, nationalist, anarchists whose ideas and attitudes
would lead the Italian intelligencia to embrace Mussolini in the next
generation.
They embraced the absurd (see Futurist noise intoner or noise
harmonium. Luigi Rusollo, The Art of Noise) in the years before WWI
when draft dodgers would create Dada in the cafes and bars of Zurich.
Along with Der Blau Rider in Northern Europe a decade earlier, those
movements would lay the foundation for German Expressionism, which is
probably the most influential period in Art History to my own work and
thought processes.
And then, with The Machine between my thighs and my nostrils filled
with vapors from fuel and exhaust, I feel the weight of the pistol on
my hip, my eyes shielded by dark plastic inaccessable to sympathy or
reason, and I revert to my roots in Futurism, "crushing beneath my
burning wheels, like shirt-collars under the iron, the watch dogs on
the steps of the houses." (excerpt in quotes from The Futurist
Manifesto, Marinetti, 1909)
