Catharine Rossi – Radical Disco | TALK (EN)

First emerging in Italy during the 1960s, the Radical Design movement sought to change social conditions by means of experimental designs. The avant-garde met in and even created newly established nightclubs that gave expression to their design ideas: the Piper club in Rome and Space Electronic in Florence were just two examples of entirely new spatial concepts that aimed to explore new architecture and design practices. Catharine Rossi, design historian and co-curator of the exhibition »Night Fever«, speaks about pioneering Italian clubs that were far ahead of their time. Free admission
