SHL to host TWO CONCERTS BY THE RENOWNED COMPOSER-PERFORMER DANIELE LOMBARDI on Feb. 20 and Feb. 21
Wed, 02/11/2009 - 23:14 — jschnapp
Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's The Foundation and Manifesto of Futurism was published exactly one hundred years ago on the front page of the Parisian daily Le Figaro. It famously celebrated "the love of danger, the habit of energy and rashness.. feverish sleeplessness, the perilous leap, the slap and the punch" and proclaimed the beauty of mechanical speed, setting the tone for many of the avant-garde movements that would follow. The event is being commemorated by major exhibitions at the Tate, the Centre Pompidou, and the Canadian Center for Architecture.
Here on the Stanford campus, it will be marked by the visit of the renowned composer-performer and experimental music historian Daniele Lombardi (see http://www.
