Her Living Units, Escape Vehicles and the complete line of A-Z Personal Uniforms will be on view at the New Museum, as will new work developed at A-Z West, the artist's studio in California.
Andrea Zittel: Critical Space is co-organized by the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, and the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston. The exhibition has been made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, a Federal agency; the patrons, benefactors and donors to the Contmeporary Arts Museum Houston's Major Exhibition Fund; and the Peter Norton Family Foundation. The accompanying catalogue has been made possible by a grant from The Brown Foundation, Inc. of Houston with additional support from the Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation.
