Futurism 100! marks the centenary of the Futurist Manifesto by exhibiting the work of two leading figures from the movement in two concurrent shows. Unique Forms: The Drawing and Sculpture of Umberto Boccioni looks back at 20 of the Italian's most significant pieces, including the dynamic bronze sculpture Unique Forms of Continuity in Space (1913). Velocity Zero features the film, animation, painting and sculpture of Luca Buvoli (b. 1963), showing how he has given a contemporary slant to classic futurist aesthetics of speed, technology and the triumph of humanity over nature.
