Come Up to My Room focuses on the diverse practices that work outside the norms of traditional design: multidisciplinary, independent, emerging, and collaborative all within the backdrop of our historic 115 year old hotel. For three days the second floor of the hotel will be transformed by imaginative — and sometimes strictly aesthetic — site-specific installations created by the participants.

Curators Christina Zeidler and Pamila Matharu.

2005 Participants include au courant presents Freestyle with Shanker Bhardwaj, Anitra Hamilton, Luis Jacob, Jeremy Laing, Jade Rude / Simone Interiors Inc: Curator Lin Gibson, Designers Brothers Dressler, Andy33, Yam Lau & Tania Ursomerzo / Fraser McIndoe / Maison St Pierre: Tim Friesen and D’arcy St. Pierre with Patrick Lightheart / Freddie Towe and Shelley Lupu / Britt Olauson and Julie Gibb / Orest Tataryn / Allyson Mitchell and Magazin Flair / Bruno Billio / Alberta’s Loyal Loot Collective: Doha Chebib, Carmen Douville, Dara Humniski, Anna Thomas / Jamie Cheveldeyoff of KOMA Designs / Oksana Ulikso and James Wright / Ryan Legassicke sponsored by INabstracto.
