 *I knew I would end up in the desert living a somewhat experimental life,
more than I knew I would end up being an artist.*—Andrea Zittel

The American artist Andrea Zittel was born in California in 1965. She is
most closely associated with the remarkable utopian structures she
calls *living
systems*, which explore what we humans need for our survival in different
ways. Andrea Zittel's projects are deeply rooted in her own daily life and
her work delves into many different fields such as architecture, painting,
photography, design, textiles, needlework and cooking. For over two decades
her experiments have included dressing in the same home-sewn uniform for
months on end, exploring restrictions in living space by living on an
artificial island and living without measured time.

At the beginning of the last decade she moved from New York back to
California where she founded *A-Z West*, a space where she has created
minimal households in which the everyday activities such as sleeping,
eating, cooking and socializing become artistic actions. The fall exhibition
at Magasin 3 will focus on ideas related to A-Z West.

*We are very pleased that Andrea Zittel has produced a completely new and
large-scale piece for the exhibition at Magasin 3. The work "Lay of My Land"
is a sculptural installation–a dramatic topographical figuration of the
landscape that surrounds her site A-Z West in the Mojave desert*, says
Richard Julin, curator of the exhibition.

An extensive new monograph on the artist accompanies the exhibition. It
includes exclusive new photography taken in spring 2011. The text is based
on conversations between Andrea Zittel and curator Richard Julin at the
artist's home and studio, A-Z West. The book is published by
*Prestel*<http://www.randomhouse.de/book/edition.jsp?edi=389033>,
one of the leading international publishers of art, architecture,
photography and design books.

Zittel has been included in group exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale
and *Documenta X*. She has had solo exhibitions at institutions such as San
Francisco MoMA, Deichtorhallen Hamburg, Whitney Museum of American Art in
New York, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark and Schaulager in Basel.
