The Vitra Design Museum in Rhein, Germany is hosting an exhibition of works titled “Night Fever Designing Club Culture 1960 – Today.” The show runs through September 2018.An important space in contemporary culture, the nightclub has been a center of pop culture since the 1960s. It has provided distinct spaces of nocturnal leisure and given opportunities and inspiration to architects and designers. The exhibition examines the relationship that exists between club culture and design, from past to present. It presents nightclub as a space that combines architecture and interior design with sound, light, fashion, graphics, and visual effects. The result is the creation of a modern Gesamtkunstwerk. The display ranges from films and vintage photographs to posters, flyers, and fashion. It also includes contemporary works by photographers and artists such as Mark Leckey, Chen Wei, and Musa N. Nxumalo.The exhibition follows a fairly chronological concept with music and light installation created specially by exhibition designer Konstantin Grcic and lighting designer Matthias Singer. This lets the viewers experience the different aspects of nightclub starting from visual effects to sounds and sensations.“Night Fever Designing Club Culture 1960 – Today” runs through September 19, 2018 at Vitra Design Museum, Charles-Eames-Straße 2, 79576 Weil am Rhein, Germany.For details, visit: https://www.design-museum.de/de/informationen.htmlClick on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.
