Matress Factory The Mattress Factory is an alternative museum which commissions, presents and collects site-specific installations in an environment whose resources are totally dedicated to that process. It serves as a catalyst for the creation of new works by providing working spaces and extensive resources for artists and art forms which do not adapt easily to studio situations, but which do share a common need for a research and development environment. Each year, new site-specific installations are created in residency and are presented to the public. They usually remain on view anywhere from four months to one year,with an average of six months. Each installation is conceived for and executed in the space in which it is seen by the public. Residencies range from one week to two months. The artists determine the specific length of time they will work here, and the schedule is designed to provide maximum on-site staff support for each artist. For application to the Mattress Factory residency programs: We accept 35 millimeter slides, VHS video tapes, or CD-ROM (Macintosh compatible format) that best represent your work. Send all submissions to: Mattress Factory 500 Sampsonia Way Pittsburgh, PA 15212 http://www.mattress.org |
