Making art, design, and life inseparable, Andrea Zittel transforms things necessary for everyday living into modular aesthetic experiments. Home furniture, clothing, and food all become sites of investigation to better understand human nature and the social construction of needs. Her work examines the gray area between freedom, which can sometimes feel too open-ended, and security, which may easily turn into confinement. Zittel was included in the 2004 Whitney Biennial and Documenta X. She has had solo exhibitions at SFMOMA; Andrea Rosen Gallery, New York; Sadie Coles HQ, London; and Galleria Massimo deCarlo, Milan.
