"New Installations, Artists in Residence: Cuba"
2005-10-03 until 2006-04-24
Mattress Factory
Pittsburgh, PA, USA United States of America

On October 3, 2004, the Mattress Factory will present New Installations, Artists in Residence: Cuba, featuring the work of ten artists from Cuba. The exhibition will include established artists, whose work has been exhibited in other countries as well as several young artists, who have not exhibited outside of Cuba. The show will run through Spring of 2005. Though the museum was not able to secure visas for any of the artists to come work in residence at the museum, the experienced staff is working with them long–distance to realize their works of art.

This exhibition will bring to Pittsburgh a taste of the vibrant and exciting art scene that exists in Cuba.

The exhibition is supported in part by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Rockefeller Foundation, Norma Fund for Artistic Programming and Mattress Factory Members.
