Two rooms are connected by a flexible, functional installation where visiting artists live while they work on their own installations in other spaces.

The space is delineated by color – grey carpet, pale blue on walls, doors, and into the hall. The opening in the wall between the two rooms through which everything shared can pass – light bulbs, beds, and arm rests – is painted bright red.

The two single beds roll through the wall for sleeping or sitting. They can be positioned to make sofas, a king-sized bed, or separate beds in each room. Back cushions reverse to headboards.

Bed Sitting Rooms for an Artist in Residence is part of the Mattress Factory's Permanent Collection.
