Contemporary Artist: Andrea Zittel
Andrea Zittel is an American installation artist whose works are often a blend of functionality, environmentalism, and social/political statement. Her Living Units, above, attempts to reduce an entire living space into a single, compact unit (the project came about while Zittel was living in her 200 sq ft Brooklyn apartment). Other projects explore and experiment with efficiency, isolation, and personal freedom.
Her latest project, the smockshop, is a collective that generates income for artists whose work is either non-commercial or not yet self-sustaining. Artists sew their own adaptations of a simple dress designed by Zittel.
