1. Their personal relationship lasted for nearly 60 years, but the works of Joan Miró and Alexander Calder were only rarely shown together during their lives—most significantly at the Spanish pavilion for the Paris World's Fair in 1937 and the Terrace Plaza Hotel in Cincinnati in 1947. "Miró and Calder" reunites them at Dublin's Irish Museum of Modern Art. Bronze sculptures by Miró, including 1974's Personnage, join Calder's works of bolted sheet metal. April 4–June 30; 353-1-612-9900; imma.ie.

2. April in the nation's capital used to mean cherry blossoms. Now, ArtDC gives visitors a reason to stay after peak bloom. Held at the Washington Convention Center, the fair rounds up 85 international galleries showing contemporary painting, sculpture, and photography. Italy's Brancolini Grimaldi shows Forte dei Marmi, a C-print by Francesco Jodice—an architect who cofounded the design network Multiplicity. April 27-30; 866-727-7953; dc-artfair.com.

3. Ross Lovegrove's 2005 prototype Liquid bench soared to $240,000 at Phillips de Pury & Company last October, setting a record for the British industrial designer. Now, the New York auction house hosts an exhibition, "Endurance," to accompany a sale of his sculptural designs. If his Liquid tables look aerodynamic, it might be because they were milled from aluminum typically used for airplanes. March 31; 212-940-1200; phillipsdepury.com.

4. The residents of Waltham, Massachusetts, might wake up to find their personal treasures on view at Brandeis University's Rose Art Museum, a co-organizer of "John Armleder: Too Much Is Not Enough." This multimedia artist raids local venues to create installations that undermine the hierarchy of art and design. Witness his Zack Wild mural, which served as a backdrop for the installation Ne Dites Pas Non! when the show debuted at Germany's Kunstverein Hannover. April 26–July 29; 781-736-3434; brandeis.edu/rose.

5. In "Open House: Architecture and Technology for Intelligent Living" at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, 10 emerging international firms unveil visions for dwellings in the year 2026. This rendering shows how Rojkind Arquitectos would address challenges posed by Mexico's aging population: The bathroom has a height-adjustable floor and a medicine chest with an interface to monitor prescriptions. April 14–July 1; 626-396-2200; artcenter.edu.
