Tom McCarthy and Roberta Cremoncini discuss the enduring influence of futurism on modern art.

It is now 100 years since the founder of the Futurism movement Filippo Marinetti published the Futurist Manifesto. In it, Marinetti eschewed the past in favour of the power, speed and technology of the industrial age. Writer Tom McCarthy and gallery director Roberta Cremoncini discuss why futurism has been fundamental to European modern art.
