Pop-Aganda Installations

The Mattress Factory is pleased to announce "Pop-Aganda: Revolution & Iconography," an exhibition of new site-specific works from eight artists opening on April 16, 2022 in the Museum’s Main Building. Pop-Aganda is the fourth iteration of director, founder and curator Tavia La Follette’s ongoing Sites of Passage series –a global interchange for the migration of ideas across political and cultural borders.

In the spirit of ArtUp, the non-profit La Follette founded,she selects artists who investigate new channels of artistic communication. Exploring the socio-political landscape through the lens of the self is a common thread for this unique group of artists coming from a vast array of lived experiences. For this exhibition, after three research trips in 2018 and 2019, La Follette selected eight multidisciplinary, social practice-oriented artists based in the US and in Russia.
