The Mattress Factory, Pittsburgh

Wow!  So I was talking with my mom about art, and she told me about this great museum called "The Mattress Factory Art Museum"
It looks awesome!  I will definitely be visiting this place next time I'm in Mom's neck of the woods... (well, Pittsburgh isn't TAHT close, but this place is definitely worth the drive!)

Mark Garry is interested in how humans navigate the world and the subjectivity inherent in these navigations. While Garry employs a number of media and mechanisms in his practice, he mainly focuses on making site-specific gallery based installations. This installation comprises three essential elements, an intervention made from beads, pins and threads, a carved wood sculpture and mechanical musical mechanisms. being here combines physical, visual sensory and empathetic analogies, creating arrangements of elements that relate to the physical space and each other.
