0,10 Exhibition

The Last Futurist Exhibition of Paintings 0,10 (pronounced "zero-ten"; Russian: Последняя футуристическая выставка картин «0,10») was an exhibition presented by the Dobychina Art Bureau at Marsovo Pole, Petrograd, from 19 December 1915 to 17 January 1916. The exhibition was important in inaugurating a form of non-objective art called Suprematism, introducing a daring visual vernacular composed of geometric forms of varying colour, and in signifying the end of Russia's previous leading art movement, Cubo-Futurism, hence the exhibition's full name. The sort of geometric abstraction relating to Suprematism was distinct in the apparent kinetic motion and angular shapes of its elements.

The title "0,10" refers to a figure of thought: Zero, either because it was expected that after the destruction of the old world, the year zero could begin again, or because the artists exhibiting wanted to find the core of painting, and ten, because ten artists were originally scheduled to participate. In fact, there were fourteen artists who participated in the exhibition. The non-numerical part of the exhibition's name, Last Exhibition of Futurist Paintings, was coined by the display's main organizer, Ivan Puni.
