Specialist-led tour through the exhibition The Architecture of Place.
The architectural drawings of artists Donald Judd (1928-1994) and Hörður Ágústsson (1922-2005) share complementary approaches toward understanding and describing architecture.
In this exhibition, Judd’s sketches reveal his architectural thinking for the building modifications and renovations he would pursue throughout the town of Marfa, Texas, and other related projects. These often utilised local vernaculars, such as farm buildings, military structures, and adobe construction techniques. By comparison, Ágústsson's drawings document built structures in Iceland, from turf houses to fishing stations to timber-frame churches. For Judd, drawing was a means to conceive possible built forms, while Ágústsson used the medium as a tool to document the actual built world.
Note that the event will be held in Icelandic.
Museum admission applies.
