SuperDesign charts the Italian Radicals’ bold experimentation in modern design from its birth through its continued influence on design today.Radical Design was launched by art, architecture, and design students in Italy in the mid-1960s. What started as a youthful rally against the establishment and a rejection of design norms became a movement that brought together some of the most dynamic and avant-garde thinkers and makers across the country. Through enigmatic, confrontational, and clever furniture and objects—such as the iconic lip-shaped Bocca sofa, or the Cactus coat-rack in green foam—as well as more public innovations including discotheque interiors and subversive performances, the Radicals projected design’s new era as equal parts Pop Art, play, Surrealism, and futurism. Told through exclusive interviews, unreleased photographs, original drawings and artwork unearthed from personal archives, and newly commissioned photography of rarely seen works, SuperDesign explores this fervent period of design that played out against the era’s social and political turmoil. Featured designers include Archizoom Associati, Lapo Binazzi (UFO), Pietro Derossi (Gruppo Strum), Piero Gilardi, Ugo La Pietra, Gaetano Pesce, Gianni Pettena, Studio65, and Superstudio. The culmination of a decade of collecting and researching original examples of some of the most important and iconic works of the period, SuperDesign offers a unique new introduction to the legacy of the Italian Radicals.

“Night Fever” describes the experience of going out more generally, as we escape from the working day and venture out into the hedonistic night. Night fever is the feverish expectation of what is to come; the dressing up (or down) for the night ahead; and the nervous excitement felt while queuing outside a club, uncertain if you are going to get in. It is the mounting anticipation as you enter a venue and head down a darkened corridor, through a murky tunnel, or up a narrow flight of stairs. It is the racing pulse and heightened temperature as you move to the music, lost to the rhythm in a sea of bodies, and maybe even meeting a rendezvous for the hours ahead. - Catharine Rossi and Jochen Eisenbrand, in “Night Fever Designing Club Culture 1960–Today” from @vitradesignmuseum @vitra #nightfever #clubdesign #nightclubdesign @_cat_rossi @jochen_eisenbrand

[Book review] Mistaken for a Mistress by Jacqueline Baird

Genre: Romance

Summary from Goodreads.com: Playing the part....

Rocco Andretti mistakenly believed that Marlene had been the late Paolo Rossi's mistress, and that she had borne Paolo a child. Rocco thought he could seduce Marlene into handing over everything Paolo had left to his son

Marlene had promised Paolo she would fight to make sure little Paul received his rightful inheritance. So it suited her to play up to Rocco's conviction that she was willing to warm the bed of any man who asked.... For a while. She would string Rocco along only until she had proved he was double-dealing.

Rocco had got it wrong!

My view on this book: I read the manga version before I can get myself a copy of e-book. So, I’m kind familiar with the story line, although the novel version was more deep compare to manga version and only 70% follow the novel plot.

Marlene, a twenty-six years old lady was mistaken as late Paolo’s mistress, due to the fact that Marlene share the same name as her mother. The misunderstanding arises when Rocco was sent to find Marlene together with Caterina by Rocco’s father. As usual, most of the Harlequin’s male hero can’t just keep their libido in their pants. Rocco, under impression that Marlene was Paolo’s mistress try to make his move. And as usual, the heroin will fall for the hero’s charm and sexiness. Yeah, he sounds sexy, and delicious.

Marlene done everything to keep Paul, her little brother safe. She knew Paul is the subject of the will from Paolo.  So, Rocco do something in order to take everything from Paul, which is seduced Marlene. He also thought Marlene was a gold-digger with low intelligence and just handle the herb garden as a source of income. Never across in his mind that Marlene was a foreign exchange dealer with a large od stockbroker. Well, misunderstanding is likely the theme of the story, as Marlene also thought Rocco was a lawyer that was send to deal with Marlene, which he was not. Quick question! Does four-year experience enough to be consider as someone who has a deep knowledge of stockbroker? I’m seriously curious.

So, Marlene decided to go to Italy with Paul, in honor Paolo’s wish to let Paul know his father’s hometown.  And then, she meets Paolo’s wife, The Contessa and Rocco’s father, Carlo. From the beginning, there is something fishy about them. And since Marlene pretend not to speak Italian since the beginning, so she knew every single thing that they had been talked about. Talking about being sneaky! At that moments, Marlene’s secret was out. Everyone know she is not Paolo’s mistress.

Rocco and Paul had very good relationship. It is very contradicted with Rocco and Carlo’s relationship. As Rocco make his move toward Marlene, Marlene now faced the dilemma. She knew from the last conversation between Catharine and Rocco that Rocco could use Marlene to take away all Paul’s inheritance.  But Marlene surrendered to Rocco’s sexiness and charm. While Rocco was away from Italy, Marlene took over the company. Rocco, when he found out what had Marlene’s done, he literally raped her. No matter how many Marlene said it is not rape, he, as per Rocco said, virtually rape her. I don’t know how Marlene can accept Rocco back.

The theme of sister loving her brother is my favourite! Her love for him made her strong to face all the nonsense of The Contessa and her daughter. I love Marlene for protect her brother.

One of main point why I don’t agree with sex and pregnancy before marriage was the potential of dating your half-sibling. Can you imagine if you are falling in love with your other half-sibling. In this story, can you imagine if Rocco and Caterina having a relationship?

How good this book?: 3.5/5

It is worth to read/buy?: I can’t really comment for this.

A Milano si balla underground? Certo che si. E Zero ci racconta come

Zero e Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli di OMA presentano, a Milano Arch Week, Viaggio nella nuova notte di Milano. Sarà un'occasione per continuare l'approfondimento sulla notte, iniziato insieme a Ippolito e OMA alla Biennale di Venezia 2014, dove abbiamo lanciato www.notteitaliana.eu: la prima e unica testata che storicizza il mondo della notte. Un progetto in cui sono stati coinvolti nomi storici, come gli architetti radicali di Superstudio e Gruppo 9999, dj seminali come Daniele Baldelli, Flavio Vecchi, Ricky Montanari, il performer Principe Maurice, i progettisti del longevo Cocoricò, tempio della notte in riviera romagnola, e i fondatori del Link Project di Bologna, primo laboratorio di sperimentazione musicale e delle arti contemporanee e la ricercatrice di design, Catharine Rossi.

Notte italiana: 14esima mostra internazionale di architettura alla Biennale di Venezia

In questo nuovo appuntamento, dopo un iniziale talk, ospiteremo alcuni dei migliori dj e promoter under 30 della città, che ci faranno ascoltare e ballare la loro notte con un dj set "parlato" di musica e parole per raccontare il loro immaginario notturno.

Acquario Acquario è uno dei pomeriggi danzanti di Masada, perché ballare di giorno a Milano ormai si può! Alcuni dei fondatori molti sono under 30 e tutti amano la techno (le quote rose sono rappresentate da Giulia Ivaldi che ci manda sempre i comunicati stampa). Teo Dixie è uno dei dj, classe 1988, dal suono techno felpato.

Bravo Milano Andrea Buttinelli aka dj Butti, classe 1993, organizza uno dei più giovani e freschi party di Milano: Bravo, che per adesso è di casa al Love ma l'intento è quello di conquistare la città a suon di elettronica e bassi pesanti.

Virgo Milano Virgo è la serata della girlyness contemporanea, ispirata all'eros italiano anni 70 e 80, ma che ammicca a una nuova estetica ironica e provocatoria. Gli ideatori sono Giulia Bortoli (1990), e Giangi Giordano (1991), giovani professionisti attivi nel mondo della moda e del cinema, mentre Paula Tape (1987) è una djette che non ha nulla da invidiare ai colleghi maschi.

We Riddim We Riddim è la dancehall più contemporanea di Milano che ogni due settimane infuocava il Tom e l'Apollo. Ora è in vacanza ma Francesco Chiamulera aka Chiamu, classe 1990, ideatore della serata e dj, sta già pensando alla prossima stagione.

Macao Federico Aldovisi e Leonardo Ruvolo, rispettivamente classe 1992 e 1990, sono tra i curatori musicali di Macao le cui parole d'ordine sono ricerca e sperimentazione sonora.

Sarà un meeting-party per iniziare il week-end, di giovedì.

Modera: Lucia Tozzi (Zero)

Intervengono: Andrea Amichetti (Zero), Emanuele Zagor Treppiedi (Zero), Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli (OMA)

Suonano i dj della scena milanese under 30: Andrea Buttinelli (Bravo Milano), Francesco Chiamulera (We Riddim), Matteo Bonatti (Acquario), Federico Aldovisi e Leonardo Ruvolo (Macao), Giulia Bortoli, Giangi Giordano e Paula Tape (Virgo Milano)

EP Vol. 1, The Italian Avant-Garde, 1968-1976 / Available at www.draw-down.com / Designed by Experimental Jetset. The EP series creates a discursive platform between lighter magazines (“single play”) and academic journals (“long play”) by introducing the notion of the “extended play” into publishing. The first volume, The Italian Avant-Garde: 1968–1976, emphasizes the multiple correspondences between well-known radical design groups like Arte Povera, Archizoom, and Superstudio, and figures such as Ettore Sottsass and Alessandro Mendini, and previously overlooked spaces, works, and performances generated by Zoo, Gruppo 9999, and Cavart. Newly commissioned interviews and essays by historians, curators and critics shed new light on the era under scrutiny, while contemporary practitioners, discuss its complex legacy. With contributions by Paola Antonelli, Pier Vittorio Aureli, Andrea Branzi, Alice Clarke, Formafantasma, Martino Gamper, Verina Gfader, Joseph Grima, Alessandro Mendini, Antonio Negri, Paola Nicolin, Michaelangelo Pistoletto, Catharine Rossi, Libby Sellers, and Ettore Vitale. #graphicdesign #typography #ExperimentalJetset #PaolaAntonelli
