Space, Electronic: Radical Architecture of the Night
Lecture date: 2016-02-25
Chiara Carpenter, Catharine Rossi, Giovanna Silva and Sumitra Upham
To mark publication of Nightswimming: Discotheques from the 1960s to the Present, this evening brings together two projects that examine the radical architectural ideas that ushered in a new wave of nightlife and discotheques in 1960s Italy. Nightswimming (Bedford Press) authors Giovanna Silva and Chiara Carpenter will discuss their survey of nightclubs in Italy and Europe through photography, interviews and key texts, while Catharine Rossi and Sumitra Upham, curators of the ICA exhibition ‘Radical Disco: Architecture and Nightlife in Italy, 1965–1975’, will present archival documents, photographs, architectural drawings, film, music and articles that detail this little-known movement.

Since 2011 she has worked with San Rocco, organising exhibitions for the Book of Copies and the Collaborations projects at the 13th International Architecture Exhibition.
