This first comprehensive publication on the influential contemporary artist focuses on the experimental nature of Andrea Zittel’s signature objects, inhabitable sculptures, and other projects.
In her work as an artist, Zittel investigates domestic and urban life in Western societies. Exploring the various aspects of living, the artist designs her own household settings to serve as a test case for her experimental living structures. The book includes over one hundred sculptures and drawings, documentation of early work, and recent site-specific work in the Mojave Desert of California. With essays that touch upon urbanism, architecture, design and consumer culture, this catalog offers an extensive analysis of Zittel’s contribution to contemporary trends in art and architecture.
