Wagon Stations by Andrea Zittel
March 1, 2006 | Elif SUNGUR
Through the research, design, and remodeling of her own domestic and external environments, Andrea Zittel creates experimental living structures that comprise an evolving body of different "systems for living." Her work explores the friction between the concept of rules as externally prescriptive and her belief that articulating parameters within one's life can be a means of liberation. Her current project, A-Z West in Joshua Tree, California, is a culmination of ten years of experimentation with these systems. This exhibition, concurrent with the New Museum's presentation of Zittel's mid-career retrospective) includes multiple "Wagon Stations" from the Joshua Tree site-small mobile units customized by invited individuals who have participated in the development of Zittel's desert community.
The exhibition can be viewed until May 7, 2006.
