The Mattress Factory is an artist-centered museum, international residency program and renowned producer and presenter of installation art. We say “yes” to artists, offering time and space to dream and realize projects in our hometown, Pittsburgh, PA. We invite audiences from around the world and around the corner to step inside, immerse and connect with the artistic process.
The Greer Lankton Collection is organized by material and is separated into eight series; Correspondence, Ephemera and Administrative Papers, Journals, Periodicals, Photo Albums, Photographs, Slides and Negatives, and Artwork.
Turrell manipulates light in his installations. He uses no magic tricks, no sleight of hand, just a well-researched understanding of the possibilities of light and the known perceptions of the eye.
