Wolf Vostell (born Leverkusen 1932 – died Berlin 1998) realised more than fifty Happenings between 1954 and 1988 that turned spectators into participants.
By moving out of the studio and onto the street, Vostell was taking what constituted a pioneering step for European action art, by incorporating his fellow citizens into the artistic process. This retrospective show presents Vostell's collage-like happenings as a multimedia nexus of pictorial, artistic, musical, and theatrical expression.

Entitled TechnoCRAFT, the major design exhibition curated by Yves Behar will charting current movements blurring the traditional boundary between designer and consumer and look at the different ways that consumers are personalizing design in efforts to assert creativity and individuality in an age of mass-production and mass-consumerism.
TechnoCRAFT explores how an emotional connection to objects has been resurrected in individuals and how the two realms of design and mass production have combined to once again allow for "Design in the Age of Individuality.”

Elle prend place dans la partie initiale de la villa, dans les salons, les salles à manger, les chambres de Monsieur et de Madame, la chambre Van Ravesteyn du dernier étage.
