A–Z West 2000–2020, an exclusive online exhibition surveying the past two decades of Andrea Zittel’s career. The selection of works presented here reflect Zittel’s ongoing aesthetic inquiry into what it means to exist and participate in culture today. Located on over 70 acres in the high desert of Joshua Tree, California, A-Z West is Zittel's ongoing artwork and homestead, the culmination of a 30-year practice in which spaces, objects, and acts of living all intertwine as a single evolving investigation. “How to live?” and “What gives life meaning?” are some of the core issues in Zittel's life and art practice. Answering these questions has entailed the examination of social norms, values, hierarchies, and categories. There are complex relationships between our needs for freedom, security, autonomy, authority, and control—for instance, sometimes living within a set of constraints actually makes us feel freer than having open-ended options, and sometimes total freedom can actually become quite stressful and resource intensive. The exhibition brings together a selection of Zittel's multi-media works encompassing sculpture, furniture, objects, textiles, uniforms, ceramics, paintings, works on paper, and tilework.
