Details
Nightclubs and discothèques are hotbeds of contemporary culture. Since the 20th century, they have been centres of the avant-garde that question the established codes of social life and experiment with different realities, merging interior and furniture design, graphics and art with sound, light, fashion and special effects to create a modern Gesamtkunstwerk. »Night Fever. Designing Club Culture 1960 – Today« is the first exhibition to give a comprehensive overview of the design history of the nightclub, examining its cultural context. Examples range from Italian clubs of the 1960s created by the protagonists of Radical Design to the legendary Studio 54 where Andy Warhol was a regular, from the Palladium in New York designed by Arata Isozaki to more recent concepts by the OMA architecture studio for the Ministry of Sound in London. Featuring films and vintage photographs, posters, flyers and fashion, the exhibition incorporates music, light and spatial installations to take visitors on a fascinating journey through a world of glamour and subcultures – always in search of the night that never ends.

In their book »Nightswimming«, Giovanna Silva and Chiara Carpenter examine and portray the stories of nightclubs in various European metropolises. The images they have captured show that nightclubs create their own spaces and rituals, which are closely interlinked with design, architecture and anthropology. The two photographers offer unusual insights into the design of a hidden world. Free admission
Affordable design for all – this idea, which is as old as design itself, has lost none of its relevance. The »Hartz IV furniture« by Berlin-based architect Van Bo Le-Mentzel translates the concept into the digital age: with simple objects whose construction plans people can download from the internet and build as a DIY project. For his workshop at the Vitra Design Museum, Le-Mentzel created a brand-new design – the Weil Chair – which participants will be able to build and take home with them. Registration: info(at)design-museum.de , € 115.00 per person
The furnishings on display in the Schaudepot are made from a diverse range of materials. Some are made of wood or metal, while others are manufactured from old clothing or 3D-printed plastics. As materials detectives, we investigate selected objects and experiment with various materials. For children aged 6 to 12, € 7.00 per child, registration: info@design-museum.de

Among its many influences, digital technology has exponentially expanded the possibilities for the production, reproduction, and distribution of music.

The music journalist, author, and former editor-in-chief of the music and culture magazine »Spex«, Max Dax, talks about transformations in the consumption and distribution of music over the past decades.
