The Gladstone Hotel seeks “Expressions of Interest” for innovative, cutting-edge, contemporary design and installation-based projects for The Gladstone Hotel’s annual alternative design event, Come Up To My Room. The seventh installment of CUTMR will take place from January 21st to 24th, 2010 at the historic Gladstone Hotel in downtown Toronto. Site-specific work will be mounted in the rooms and public spaces on the 2nd and main floors of The Gladstone.
Ideal candidates for juried consideration are makers who focus their practice in the areas of experimental, inter-disciplinary, self-taught, hand-made/craft-based work in any creative medium. We are looking for practitioners and emerging designers who approach their discipline with a radical personal vision, and who use design to converse, connect, collaborate and construct delight in the unexpected.
There are two ways to participate in Come Up To My Room 2010.
1) Room Installations: participants will create new work that is site-specific installation. Participants must be new to CUTMR or have not shown in past three years at CUTMR. The curatorial focus and submission review will be on strength of previous works.
2) Public Spaces: participants will create functional lighting, seating or wall-based projects which responds to the site, or a DJ booth and/or bar for the event. Past Participants of CUTMR are welcome to submit to this category. The curatorial focus will be on actual project proposals, as well as previous work. Please submit sketches and/or a written paragraph on your proposed installation.

Craft Cubed is a new national event presented by Craft Victoria. This annual festival promotes experimental, skilled and ideas-based craft and design. It will provide a platform for conversation and exchange across all spectrums of the craft and design communities. A key feature of the event is the thematic linking of current craft trends among local, national and international practitioners.
There are three components to Craft Cubed:
WHITE BOX showcases 50 international design projects in a virtual format.
PERSPECTIVE is a curated exhibition of 50 new works by Craft Victoria’s Professional Members.
PROGRAMS include professional development opportunities, satellite exhibitions and open studios.
2009 THEME
Craft Cubed provides artists with an opportunity to generate new work in response to the 2009 festival theme CITY|COUNTRY. Local geographical boundaries have shifted dramatically in recent times. Populations are literally moving, profoundly effecting the environment, public space, urban planning and design. What are the ramifications of these changes in geographical composition? How is contemporary craft and design influencing these new forms of spatial engagement? Is craft production being affected by the new societies?
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
In 2009 Craft Cubed will run 1 August – 12 September. Submissions are now being sought for WHITE BOX and PERSPECTIVE in response to the theme CITY|COUNTRY. The submission deadline for both projects is Tuesday 30 June 2009.
