Andrea Zittel
















Andrea Zittel's home and studio.

"It’s a one-hour ride through the desert, passing the massive wind turbines scattered throughout. A Californian native, Andrea Zittel is an installation and relational artist who also runs the Institute of Investigative Living.
....
Once we arrive at Joshua Tree we leave the paved road opposite some dinosaurs randomly advertising a real estate development, and follow a gravel track, which leads us to her house. A few signs direct you either to her studio, her guesthouses or to her home. It looks like she is used to visitors.
....
Her assistant, Tatiana, is expecting us at the studio. I can see three other assistants working there through the glass walls. The studio is a huge workshop separated into three rooms. In the first room, there’s a computer and some desks. In the second, the three assistants are working on some plaster objects – her so-called Aggregated Stacks. It all looks very clean and organized. There are a lot of cleaned brushes and white porcelain petri dishes with lids for colour tests, each labelled properly with its respective colour.
....
Her house looks amazing. She lives completely surrounded by her art and has designed everything herself – right down to the tiles in the kitchen (which are actually artworks called Vertical Accumulators) and the coat hooks on the walls.
