Artribune Podcast: Gillo Dorfles, Elio Fiorucci, Giovanni Allevi on Love Therapy
The Artribune podcast 'Contemporaneamente' features a conversation with Gillo Dorfles, Elio Fiorucci, and Giovanni Allevi on the theme of 'Love therapy' for a more human and free society. The discussion critiques the lack of parallel development in interpersonal relations despite technological progress, and the persistence of political conformism and war. Dorfles (1910-2018), a renowned Italian intellectual, critic, and philosopher of art, co-founded the Movimento Arte Concreta (MAC) in 1948 and authored over 30 volumes. Fiorucci (1935-2015), a visionary entrepreneur and creative, opened his first store in Milan in 1967, expanding globally, and later launched the Love Therapy project in 2003. Allevi (b. 1969), a pianist and composer, graduated in philosophy and composition, and has performed internationally, including at the Italian Senate in 2008. The podcast is curated by Mariantonietta Firmani.
