In this episode Andrew Clancy interviews Dr Cat Rossi.
Cat is a design historian, with a socially and politically engaged approach to researching and communicating design history. Consistently provocative, insightful and nimble in her ability to weave multiple narratives, Cats work allows new light to be cast on the areas she explores. In this conversation she takes us us on a lyrical tour of the design history of Nightclubs, and their relationship to broader architectural currents, with particular emphasis on the post-war Italian radical tradition (Gruppo 9999; Superstudio et al).
We also talk about the exhibition she is co-curating, and which opens in the Vitra Design Museum on 17 March 2018. This exhibition, entitled 'Nightfever' is the first comprehensive study of nightclub design, and will be travelling to the UK at some future date. https://www.design-museum.de/en/exhibitions/detailpages/night-fever-designing-club-culture-1960-today.html
