Come Up To My Room (CUTMR) is the Gladstone Hotel’s annual alternative design event. This year’s show, curated by David-Dick Agnew, Deborah Wang and Noa Bronstein, invites artists and designers to show us what goes on inside their heads. Coming together in dialogue and collaboration, participants are limited only by their imaginations, making CUTMR one of the most exciting shows in Toronto.
The four-day exhibition is in its 9th year at the Gladstone Hotel, featuring 11 rooms and 14 public space installations, design talks and curatorial tours, that literally take over the second floor Gladstone Gallery and other public spaces of the hotel. Curators select participating designers and artists based on their past work and experience. Once these creative individuals and collectives have been selected, they are given complete freedom to create new works that often escape disciplinary classification.
