In 2014 the performance art piece ''[[Mattress Performance (Carry That Weight)|Carry That Weight]]'' is created, also known as "the mattress performance". The artist behind this piece is [[Emma Sulkowicz]] who, during her end of degree thesis in visual arts in the [[Columbia University]] in the city of New York City. In September 2014, Sulkowicz's piece began, as she started carrying her own mattress around the [[Columbia University]] campus.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thecut.com/2019/10/did-emma-sulkowicz-mattress-performance-get-redpilled.html|title=Did Emma Sulkowicz Get Redpilled?

The piece generated great controversy, but was supported by a bunch of her companions and activists who joined Sulkowicz multiple times when carrying the mattress, making the work an international revindication. Art critic Jerry Saltz considered the artwork to be one of the most important of the year 2014. <ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.vulture.com/2014/12/19-best-art-shows-of-2014.html|title=The 19 Best Art Shows of 2014|newspaper=[[Vulture (website)|Vulture]]|date=December 10, 2014|first=Jerry|last=Slatz}}</ref>
