The exhibition Radical Austria: Everything is Architecture cast a spotlight on the vibrant Austrian avant-garde of the sixties and early seventies showcasing a rich collection of art, clothing, design and architecture. The exhibition was on display at the Design Museum Den Bosch, NL, from 26 May to 3 October 2021, it was curated by the team of Bart Lootsma, Alexa Baumgartner and Maya Christodoulaki and designed by the Dutch office DeVrijerVanDongen.

Within the elongated gallery of DNDB, the exhibition navigated through the intricate tapestry of the era, delving into ten pivotal subjects that encapsulated the spirit of the time: Cultic Cities, Actionism, Realized Manifestoes, Art and Revolution, Schöner Wohnen, Everything is Architecture, Body and Sexuality, Cybernetic Cities, Perception, Prototypes, Mind Expanders, Feedback Architecture, and Climate Zones. Featuring visionary works by Coop Himmelblau, Haus-Rucker-Co, Zünd-Up, Walter Pichler, Valie Export, Hans Hollein, Angela Hareiter and Raimund Abraham, the exhibition highlighted a newfound technical sensibility that was emerging in design. It unravelled themes that resulted into the craftmanship of immersive environments, design objects, avant-garde fashion, captivating performances, innovative furniture, and occasionally buildings.
