Event: International Curator Talk with Danny Bracken, Wednesday 28 August @ 5pm

Join us as we hear from curator Danny Bracken who joins us at FSAS as part of the International Curator Residency programme.

Bracken will give a presentation about his work at Mattress Factory, an artist-founded and artist-centered museum, international residency program and renowned producer of art in Pittsburgh. Established in 1977, Mattress Factory functions as a space for contemporary artists in residence, who create room-sized installations and site-specific works. Bracken will give an overview of the museum’s major milestones and recent history, reflect on its unique position as a place of production and exhibition, and speak about how his own creative trajectory intersects with the Mattress Factory.
