Mattress factory's 'LIKENESS' reflects on artists' visions of themselves

How much do you reveal about yourself to others on a daily basis?

A surprising amount if you're artist Greer Lankton, whose raw, intimate installation at the Mattress Factory reflects her life as a transsexual, an anorexic, an asthmatic and a recovered heroin addict.

"It's all about ME, Not You" is the saucy title of the work, a re-creation of her small Chicago apartment that debuted at the North Side museum in 1996 in a three-artist exhibition.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
