Look at you, ya beautiful bastard! You suited up! This is totally going in my blog!

Hello. It’s been awhile. However, I am not quite ready to dive back into thinking. So instead please enjoy the following works by Friedrich Kunath. Hands down my favorite contributor to the Life on Mars exhibit at the Carnegie Museum of Art (ends 1/11).

The Mattress Factory

Well… I finally made it to The Mattress Factory. For those who are Pittsburgh deprived The Mattress Factory is a museum of contemporary art that exhibits installation art. It is located in the ever so Sesame Street-esque Mexican War Streets of the Northside. Unlike most traditional art museums, The Mattress Factory is an installation art museum which means it is interactive and allows the viewer to become a participant in the art. It truly is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon and is definitely on my mandatory things to do in Pittsburgh list.

Although The Mattress Factory does not allow pictures to be taken of the exhibits I did manage to find a couple of pictures online that featured a few of my favorites.
