In the latest iteration of a project started in the early 80s, Allan McCollum has invited Joshua Tree, California based artist Andrea Zittel to collaborate on a show of his ‘plaster surrogates,’ or plaster casts that stand in for paintings. Here, Zittel sketches out a rough landscape of hills and desert colors in an avant-garde twist on landscape painting. (At Pezel Gallery in Chelsea through Oct 5th).
