Perhaps the title of an artist does not justifiably describe Andrea Zittel. Andrea is undoubtably much more than what most people would describe as your typical artist. She has also been refered to by the Addison Gallery of American Art as, “a cross between an artist, a designer, and a social scientist.” Zittel was born in 1965 in Escondido, California. She spent many years in school working hard to earn both a BFA from San Diego State University in sculpture and design, as well as an MFA in sculpture from Rhode Island School of Design. Zittel took an interesting and unusual approach towards her art by combining her work and her own life. She is very different from not only the average artist, but also the everyday person. The organizational units and categories that make up her homes in both California and New York portray her idea that life is composed of both freedom and confinement, based on everyday practicalities. Zittel success and individualism can be seen in her diverse works she has created in the past decade. According to Stefano Basilico from “Bomb Magazine”, “ Zittel’s art has investigated structures of life on every level, from the biological (selective breeding), to the social and domestic (furniture design and clothing), to the fantastic (self-designed escape vehicles).” She is unaffected by the norm of society and has in fact challenged the mundane reality of everyday life on more than one occasion.
