This exhibition, the first comprehensive solo exhibition of Zittel's work in the United States, features the work she has created under the name A-Z Administrative Services. Her Living Units, Escape Vehicles and the complete line of A-Z Personal Uniforms will be on view at the New Museum, as will new work developed at A-Z West, the artist's studio in California.
