The No No-Exit Closet: An Alternative to No-Exit Pathways

The focus of this dossier is my Masters Thesis project, which is titled The No No-Exit Closet. The No No-Exit Closet has been a project through which I have developed a heightened ethical awareness of how I consume, store, throw away, and reuse the materials that enter and exit my life. This thesis dossier is divided into three sections: an extended artist statement about my thesis project, photographic documentation of the artwork I produced for my Masters Thesis Exhibition, and a case study on the artwork of Andrea Zittel. The extended artist statement describes my Masters Thesis project which is a meditation on the reconceptualization of the closet as a no no-exit zone. The case study distinguishes similarities and differences between Zittel’s artwork and the artwork of the Russian Constructivists, American Minimalists, and American Post-Minimalists.
