Opening reception for new Shohei Katayama exhibition, April 29 at Mattress Factory.


The Mattress Factory will host an opening reception for an upcoming Shohei Katayama exhibition on April 29.
Join us for the opening of a new exhibition by artist-in-residence Shohei Katayama. Shohei Katayama is a Japanese American artist who explores the space between light and dark, life and death, beauty and danger, nature and man. Utilizing his art as a catalyst for environmental conversations, his work examines the underlying patterns and forces of nature by showcasing unseen relationships in ecology. Katayama uses materials that embodies the philosophy associated with ecological examination. Through his work, Katayama demonstrates the entanglements that are present between such systems and illustrates the disruptions that can occur when individual components are manipulated.

The Opening Reception is a free event that will feature a walk-through of the new exhibition and an opportunity to meet the artist. Drinks and non-alcoholic refreshments will be available.

Registration for the Opening Reception is strongly encouraged here.

Please check in at the Museum’s Main Building at 505 Jacksonia Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15212.
It runs from 6:00 to 8:00 pm in the Main Building, located at 505 Jacksonia Street in the Mexican War Streets section of the North Side (map).
