Gallery hours by appointment: Monday – Friday, 10:00 am – 6:00 pm Regen Projects is pleased to present an exhibition of new and existing work by Andrea Zittel. This marks her seventh solo show at the gallery. For 30 years Zittel's art practice has considered the ways 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 diverse array of works made over a fifteen-year period (2005 – 2020) that examine conceptual aspects of production, materiality, and use, and reflect Zittel’s ongoing aesthetic inquiry into what it means to exist and participate in culture today. On the occasion of her recent comprehensive solo exhibition at the Miller Institute for Contemporary Art, curator Elizabeth Chodos said, “Zittel’s work rests at the intersection of art, architecture, and design. A world-builder, Zittel’s practice manifests within her live/work residence A-Z West — an artwork and homestead located on over seventy acres in the California high desert. The exhibition demonstrates the immersive gestalt of Zittel’s all-encompassing practice where every material aspect of daily life is examined and her ethos for living guides all action.”
