The Futurist Fortunato Depero theater, where the stage action replaces actors with individuality abstract entered in a scenic area colorful, elementary geometry of its atoms encounter the fluorescence color of Peter Halley between geometries of everyday intrusiveness which is not limited to the physical space. Peter Halley decoding the investigation of Foucault on the geometric structures of buildings, aimed at supervision and exercise of power that flows from a minimalist monochrome square, the center of which put another square - divided by three vertical stripes, the barred window - one of its most recognizable icons. Information and images are the fundamental theory of Neo-Geometric Conceptualism, artistic expression that denotes the work of Halley along with those of Ashley Bickerton and Koons. These concepts are expressed in his work as an enclosed space defined and interconnected by piping, cables and communication lines.
In Fortunato Depero part of the works shows the path of Depero (Balla) to the abstract futuristic analog (Dance Chiofissi) that develops the analytical breakdown of the figure / space in "Rhythms of ballerina + clowns", with the framework set out in raggisti Rome in 1914 space - geometrically reconstructed interior accent metaphysical (1916-17) - gives off colored surfaces and dynamics that extend under the emotion of the viewer. The painting itself is brought back to reality after the previous object of the "plastic complexes." There appear subsequently automata in the spirit of mechanical art of the twenties, as in the painting "drinkers and the locomotive" of the 1925 figures are reusable in synthetic minor arts - from the cover, the poster, the marquetry - in which it is apparent that nature advertising art that Depero including as a result of the "Futurist Reconstruction of the Universe".
