Andrea Zittel: Smockshop

About

Sprueth Magers Berlin is delighted to host Andrea Zittel?s
artistic enterprise, ?Smockshop?, in their gallery space in
Berlin this spring. Two artisans will work in the gallery
making the smocks, double wrap-around garments designed by
Zittel, which collectively represent an aesthetically
diverse yet functionally uniform body of work. Extending
Zittel?s longstanding interest in the form and function of
everyday life, the smocks develop a modernist tradition of
clothing design and manufacture, extending back to the
Russian avant-garde, which emphasises utility and economy,
and inclines towards an alternative experience of clothing
to the prevailing discourse of fashion.
