Mattress Factory's New Monterey Annex Show Opening Reception
Join the Mattress Factory for the opening of three new distinct exhibitions!
On view in the Mattress Factory’s Monterey Annex, this show will feature new works from
The Opening Reception is a free event that will feature walk-throughs of the new exhibitions and opportunities to meet the artists. Drinks and non-alcoholic refreshments will be available.
For the duration of collaborative duo Lenka Clayton & Phillip Andrew Lewis’s The Museum Collects Itself, the trash generated by the normal operations of the Mattress Factory Museum will be redirected – stored, catalogued and displayed within the Monterey Annex Gallery – instead of being thrown away. The gallery will begin as a blank white space and will slowly fill up with the discarded materials of all aspects of institutional activities, which may include production waste from art installations, administrative office debris, deinstalled artworks, among other things.
In Do this while I wait, Lydia Rosenberg presents a series of sculptures initially described in her ongoing project of writing a novel-as-sculpture which is a narrative text about objects. For this project, Rosenberg makes sculptures on behalf of a fictional character from the novel, an artist named Annette.
In As Seen From the Surface, Katie Bullock draws from her ongoing archive of videos, drawings, and diagrams that reach for meaning by way of the everyday. The installation, which will attempt to track patterns in attention and map fragments of connection and understanding, will grow throughout the life of the show and include experiences from her time living in Pittsburgh.
Please check in at the Museum’s Monterey Annex at 1414 Monterey Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15212.
The show will be on view through December 30, 2023. These artists were selected by the visiting curator for a 2021 Regional Open Call, Denise Markonish, Chief Curator and Director of Exhibitions at MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA.
