This play is a reflection on the (im)possibility of accepting diversity and the other. The fragmented body of the neoplasm—the fruit of unstable conditions—overcomes barriers, loves and denies itself and others, wanders around, forgetting its profession. It frequently and with pleasure divides, goes through dangerous palpation, questions the possibility of contact with the experience of the other. Poorly brought up but very successful, it invites us to a trans-species transition.

Limited is an exhibition that celebrates the museum’s long history of boundary-pushing art through a curated selection of limited-edition prints and objects created by Mattress Factory artists since 1986. Limited offers visitors a rare opportunity to own a piece of the museum’s iconic history while supporting its bright future. Since its founding in 1977, the Mattress Factory has championed site-specific art, often temporary in nature. Limited captures these fleeting moments, transforming them into lasting, collectible editions. Each work on view is signed by the artist and available for purchase in the museum’s Shop or online at mfshop.org. The show features works by celebrated artists such as William Anastasi, Deborah Aschheim, Dove Bradshaw, and Jessica Stockholder, alongside new editions by recent artists-in-residence Asim Waqif, Katie Bullock, and Luke Stettner. Their 2023 prints, part of a revived Limited Edition Print Program, are offered in editions of 77—a nod to the year of the museum’s founding. From blindfolded graphite drawings and sound-reactive sculptures to digitally collaged meditations on memory, each piece in Limited is an intimate snapshot of the ideas and processes that have defined the Mattress Factory for nearly five decades. “Buying a print from this show isn’t just buying art,” added Oresick. “It’s a way to support our artist residency program and keep this community-centered, experimental space thriving into our 50th year and beyond.” Limited is on view through summer 2026. All works are available for purchase at the Mattress Factory Shop and online at mfshop.org.
