the Gladstone’s annual art takeover

During Come Up to My Room, every inch of the Gladstone Hotel gets covered with quirky, site-specific installations, like a bedroom made of paper and a scrappy skateboarder’s clubhouse (pictured below). Among the 30 pieces on display this year: “First Gentrification,” suspended sculptures made from construction debris sourced from Toronto’s changing neighbourhoods; “Enhancer,” an interactive chandelier that glows and dims in response to guests’ movements; and, repeating one of the event’s most memorable installations from years past, a virtual-reality recreation of Ferris Bueller’s bedroom.
