Come Up To My Room (CUTMR)
12th Annual Alternative Design Event
Gladstone Hotel
Toronto, ON
Canada
Pop Up Exhibition: January 16, 205 to January 25, 2015
3rd & 4th Floor Exhibition: January 12, 2015 to March 29, 2015
The CUTMR curatorial process is unique in that we select the art/designer/teams for room installations based on past work only, and then work with theme in an open and trusting dialogue to create a site-specific installation following their own personal vision. We choose you but we don't know what you will do with your space until we "come up to your room." Due to this kind of curatorial process--the core premise of the show--CUTMR lends itself to transience and is never presented the same way twice.
Describe your practice, show past projects, and provide a loose description of what you would like to do but focus on showing your potential.
One rule: If you created a room last year, please do not apply for a room this year.
