Andrea Zittel is an internationally renowned artist, sculptor and designer whose work has been featured in some of the world’s most prestigious galleries and museums.
Her work is a unique blend of art and design, and her ability to create pieces that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional has made her a leader in the contemporary art world.
In this exclusive interview, we explore some of the ideas that drive her work and gain insights into her creative process.
From her innovative use of materials to her interest in the design of everyday objects, Andrea Zittel is an artist who is pushing boundaries and redefining the traditional notions of art and design.
Zittel creates her art in a very hands-on approach, starting with a conceptual idea, and then finding the most appropriate materials to bring the subject to life.
She says, “I am very hands-on, so I make the works that I have in mind. A lot of artists have assistants make things for them, but I do everything myself.”
In the early stages of her process, she sketches out ideas and drawings to come up with a conceptual design, often using everyday objects.
She likes to take things that people are familiar with and give them new meaning or contexts. For example, her piece “House of Cards” features thousands of decks of playing cards stacked to create a large tower.
Zittel says, “I noticed that playing cards are a feature of people’s houses, so I thought ‘Why don’t I make something out of playing cards?’”
The inspiration behind many of Zittel’s works come from a fascination with the built environment and architecture, as well as a desire to push the boundaries of art and redefine what it means to be an artist.
She says, “I was always interested in architecture and art and what the difference between the two is. And then I got into being more of a conceptual artist and exploring how art could be in a different context.”
Zittel’s interest in architecture has led her to explore the built environment from a unique perspective, bringing the physical world into the artistic realm.
Her work “Out of Sight” takes the traditional idea of a curtain and turns it into “a sculptural fragment that blends form and function” to blend the inside and outside of a building.
Zittel’s unique approach to materials has been a defining characteristic of her work. While many artists use traditional materials such as paint, paper and canvas, she sometimes forgoes these materials altogether in favor of more unusual materials.
Her piece “Arboreal” brings fresh new meaning to the word “arboreal” by creating a tree out of towels. She says, “Fabrics are like a second skin—they protect us, they are with us when we are born, they are with us when we die.
I thought it would be interesting to make a tree out of towels.” While this piece is not exactly functional, Zittel’s ability to transform everyday objects into art through her use of materials is one of the reasons her work has been so widely celebrated.
Zittel’s use of everyday objects in her work often results in pieces that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
Her piece “Shelter” features a fence lined with towels and blankets, giving passers-by a place to rest and sit. She says, “One of the main concerns is a lack of shelter, so I thought that a fence would be a good place to build a shelter.”
Zittel has also used water bottles in her work to create “a large scale wall of water bottles that are all connected to each other and ‘float’ in the air.”
Her ability to use materials in novel ways has led her to create works that are not only beautiful to look at, but also serve a function.
Zittel’s work often features materials that viewers can interact with, and as a result, she has created environments that encourage audience members to become part of the art experience.
Her piece “Free Store” features a large outdoor warehouse that is open to the public. She says, “People are invited to bring things and take things.” Her “Seed Exchange” features large shelves lined with seed packages for people to take and plant.
This exhibit encourages people to become more involved in their environment and to think about the cycle of plants and nature.
These interactive exhibits encourage her audience members to become part of the art experience and to interact with the work in a very hands-on fashion.
Zittel’s work has been featured in some of the world’s most prestigious galleries and museums, and her pieces often sell for six-figure prices.
This has led her to become a leader in the contemporary art world.
