The Mattress Factory will be celebrating the opening of The Silence, the second exhibition inside The Other Apartment, an installation by Jon Rubin and Sohrab Kashani.

In December, a DIY cassette tape appeared on the bookshelf in the Pittsburgh version of The Other Apartment. Research revealed that the tape was secretly left by the Mexican band, Para Decir Adiosss. Rubin and Kashani decided to create an exhibition based entirely on this one cassette tape. Rubin and Kashani invited musicians in Pittsburgh and Tehran to perform cover versions of the songs on the cassette. The filmed performances will be screened where they were shot – in the bedroom, office, bathroom, and living room of the apartment. Cassette tapes of the cover songs will be available for purchase in both Pittsburgh and Tehran.

The Silence Opening Reception will be held on Saturday, January 25 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm at the Mattress Factory. The exhibition is free with museum admission. For more information, visit The Silence Opening Reception event page.
