John Cage: 1991

Mattress Factory's Collaboration with
The Carnegie International

With its distinctive space, the Mattress Factory was a constituent of the 1991 Carnegie International, the 51st in a series of contemporary art exhibitions of The Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

John Cage designed his installation for an empty room with brick walls and polished floors. The space was raw, unfinished and unchanged from Cage's first view of the room. The elements of the installation were 6 chairs and 48 wall-hung works, 12 each by Dove Bradshaw, John Cage, Mary Jean Kenton, and Marsha Skinner. Each morning for 103 days, 15 of the works were hung and one or more chairs were positioned according to random patterns.

Every day the camera, positioned according to another script, made a chronicle of the changing gallery, registering the impact of an additional element: the natural light.
