ANDREA ZITTEL
10 February 2012 - 20 May 2012
Lay of My Land
Andrea Zittel is most closely associated with the remarkable utopian structures she calls ‘Wagon Stations’ which explore what humans need for survival in different ways. Zittel’s projects are deeply rooted in her own daily life and delve into 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 spaces by living on an artificial island and living without measured time.

ON KAWARA
1 March 2012 - 29 April 2012
One Million Years
On Kawara's One Million Years is an epic work of conceptual art. It speaks simply and directly about a subject that is relevant to us all: the passage and marking of time. The monumental 20-volume work is comprised of Past, a typewritten record of the date of every year from 998,031 BC to 1969 AD and future, which accounts for 1996 AD to 1,001,995 AD. Past is dedicated to 'all those who have lived and died' and future is 'for the last one'. Conceived in 1969, live readings of the work have since been performed across the world, with a man and a woman alternating the reading of Past and future dates in numerical order.
