About

Why this artist matters now

Andrea Zittel designs and fabricates sculptural living structures, furniture, and wearable objects that test how minimal a domestic environment can become while remaining functional. Her ongoing body of work, rooted in the Southern California desert near Joshua Tree, treats daily life as an experimental medium, producing self-contained units for eating, sleeping, and shelter.
