Bruce Nauman's Triangle Room, 1978/80, Gary Hill's Tall Ships, 1992, and Mariko Mori's Link, 2000, are just a few of the offerings in this exploration of the physical, spiritual, and virtual dimensions of space. In Castello, Spain, between June 28 and September 16, the Espai d'Art Contemporani's exhibition "Other Urban 'Natures': Architecture Is (Now) Geography" likewise thinks afresh about the experience and construction of space. Redefining architecture as interdisciplinary node rather than autonomous specialty, it will interweave anthropology, new technologies, cultural studies, biogenetics, and physical theory in its presentation of experimental urban projects by an international lineup of architects, including Spaniard Eduardo Arroyo and American Greg Lynn Greg Lynn (born 1964), is an American architect, philosopher, and science-fiction writer Life and Work Lynn graduated cum laude from Miami University (OH) with degrees in Architecture and Philosophy, and Princeton University with a Master's of Architecture. .

In Rotterdam from April 29 to July 1, Architecture International Rotterdam (AIR) and the Witte de With pay tribute to local hero Erasmus in "Breeze of AIR/Hortus Conclusus." A veritable thicket of landscape architects and artists, including Elmgreen & Dragset, Cristina Iglesias, and Cildo Meireles, will construct enclosed gardens in the Witte de With's galleries and outside in the city--pockets of calm for latter day humanists' cogitations. A little further north in Zeewolde, the De Verbeelding center coordinates "ARTificial Natural Networks" (May 26-Sept. 1), a show of environmental art and an exploration of the nature culture divide that will prompt much pondering in the polder. Strollers in the Zeewolde area will discover temporary works by Roman Signer, Joep van Lieshout, Mark Dion, N55, et al., alongside permanent pieces by, among others, Richard Serra. ("But why isn't Zeewolde in the atlas?" anxious voices cry. Answer: It's the youngest village in Flevoland Province--so new, in fact, it's barely dried out. Take your galoshes!) |
