Founded by artist Barbara Luderowski way back in 1977, Pittsburgh’s Mattress Factory is one of the most innovative – and under-appreciated – galleries in the US

匹兹堡床垫厂成立于1977年，是美国最创新、最不受欢迎的博物馆之一，由艺术家芭芭拉·卢德罗夫斯基(BarbaraLuderowski In)创办，是的，它是位于城市破旧的北侧的一家一次性床垫工厂(尽管后来它接管了附近的其他建筑)。该画廊的USP为艺术家提供了一个机会，使他们有机会制作房间大小的、特定地点的装置，并让他们在那里呆上一段时间-在某些情况下是永久的-创造一个非凡的、恰当的沉浸式收藏。画廊现在有17件永久的作品，其中三件由詹姆斯·特雷尔和两件由草山Yayoi创作。此外，工厂作为雇主、外展教育工作者和吸引游客的场所，也对当地地区产生了再生影响。

到目前为止，已经有600多名艺术家参加了床垫厂的艺术家驻场计划，目前每年有8至12名艺术家在一周至两个月期间定居下来。画廊提供了一支由泥瓦匠、木匠和金属工人组成的后备团队，帮助从业者安装设备，并采购这些独特的艺术家材料，比如数英里长的带刺铁丝、昆虫幼虫和一袋人发。

目前在画廊附近的三层联排别墅展出的展览是记忆的痕迹，由柏林的日本艺术家Chiharu Shiota主持。一个超复杂的黑纱网从一个房间蔓延到另一个房间，它用了13个人10天的时间安装，在一个奇怪的，梦幻的雾中掩盖了房子稀疏的家具。

安妮·林德伯格(Anne Lindberg)是参加主建筑“工厂安装”展览的四位艺术家之一，她也用线来暗示生理系统，比如心跳和呼吸，以及心理状态。

如果你来访，花点时间看看Allan Wexler的智能床/起居室，供一位艺术家居住：两间背靠背的房间，共用两张床或沙发，或者上面的一些配置，这取决于你如何推出它们。

The gallery’s USP is offering artists-in-residence the chance to produce room-sized, site-specific installations and leave them there for a while, and in some cases permanently. Pictured: Catso Red, by James Turrell, 1994

Anne Lindberg is one of the four artists taking part in the current ‘Factory Installed’ exhibition; she also uses thread – this time to suggest physiological systems and psychological states. Pictured: shift lens, by Anne Lindberg, 2015

Life, Afterlife, by John Morris, 2015, is also on display as part of 'Factory Installed'

As is The Color of Temperance: Embodied Energy, by Julie Schenkelberg, 2015

Over 600 artists have taken part in the Mattress Factory’s artists-in-residence programme to date, with eight-to-12 artists a year now settling in for anywhere between one week and two months. Pictured: the Mattress Factory's shop
