The collaborative, interdisciplinary, and anticonventional nature of the Futurists' project, and their mission to "integrate art into every facet of life," are well illustrated by this 2002 MoMA exhibition. Note especially the emphasis on hand-made book covers, which wrapped the words of poets like Mayakovsky and Khlebnikov in the art of the likes of Burliuk and Rodchenko -- while defying the standards and conventions of the publishing establishment.
