APPENDIX A global calendar of goings-on in the worlds of architecture, culture, and design. FEB 20–AUG 20
AGENDA
COUNTRYSIDE, THE FUTURE
The Guggenheim’s newest collaborative exhibition, undertaken with architect Rem Koolhaas and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, reveals the radical effects of urbanization on the world’s countryside and wilderness as rural areas become increasingly reliant on technology. From artificial intelligence in farming to political radicalism, Countryside, the Future both explores advances in agriculture and breaks down the social politics that are altering the natural world as we know it. guggenheim.org
MAR 1–JUL 11
JUDD MoMA New York, New York He might never have admitted it, but midcentury artist Donald Judd revolutionized modern sculpture. Using industrial materials such as aluminum, steel, and Plexiglas, he developed his signature vocabulary of hollow “boxes,” often arranged in a series. Presenting the artist’s first retrospective in the United States in more than 30 years, MoMA’s Judd explores Judd’s multidisciplinary work, displaying the colorful geometric sculptures that redefined artistic approaches to form and space, along with his paintings, drawings, and rarely seen works from the past three decades. moma.org
MAR 5–8
COLLECTIBLE Brussels, Belgium The third annual Collectible turns the traditional design fair on its head by displaying contemporary collectable design in a museumlike setting. Hosted at Brussels’ Vanderborght Building, known for its stark gallery-style walls and six-story atrium, the show displays international design pieces in an exhibition-style format. This unique experience allows customers to not only look at, but also touch and purchase high-end 21st-century design pieces. collectible.design
