In 2002, the artist hoped her 63-square-foot cabin—temporary, portable, and made out of aluminum-framed fiberglass panels—would help make the High Desert an art destination outside of Los Angeles.
Andrea Zittel is a homebody. The artist, who finds herself globetrotting from Berlin to Brooklyn or from the California high desert to Stockholm, maintains two residences that double as laboratories for her artwork. A-Z East is in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn and A-Z West is two hours outside of Los Angeles, in the town of Joshua Tree.
