Andrea Zittel: Critical Space

Andrea Zittel: Critical Space, the first comprehensive solo exhibition in North America of one of the most influential American artists to emerge since the 1990s, opens at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, this spring.

Zittel investigates contemporary life in Western societies through her sculptures and installations, which draw on architecture and geography to explore the psychological, biological, and economic aspects of domestic and urban existence.

"We are delighted to bring the works in this exhibition back to Los Angeles-in close proximity to Zittel's studio and the natural environment where the artist lives and works," said MOCA Director Jeremy Strick, "This exhibition fulfills the common mission of the artist and MOCA: the integration of the visual arts with contemporary culture."

Co-organized by the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston and the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, and co-curated by Contemporary Arts Museum Houston Senior Curator Paola Morsiani and Trevor Smith for the New Museum of Contemporary Art, Andrea Zittel: Critical Space will be on view at MOCA's critically acclaimed exhibition space in Little Tokyo, The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA March 4-May 14, 2007.

MOCA's presentation will be coordinated by MOCA Curator of Architecture and Design Brooke Hodge.
