I have been entrusted with the task of creating the bar for CUTMR 11. It is my hope that THE BAR will inspire the atmosphere that will precipitate the unique CUTMR dialogue.
In the eleven years that have passed since Christina Zeidler and Pamila Matharu envisioned the first edition of, CUTMR, the Toronto design community has come into its own. CUTMR has been at the forefront of this change, discovering new talent while giving established designers and artists a chance to experiment with fresh ideas and unusual collaborations in a unique heritage landmark. One of CUTMR’s distinguishing features has always been a curatorial process that embodies ideas of trust and risk, encouraging exhibitors to produce work that tests their limitations. These results have always been pleasantly surprising, not only to CUTMR’s many visitors, but to the curators and designers as well.
Come Up To My Room 11 (CUTMR 11) runs Thursday, Jan. 23 to Sunday, Jan. 26, 2014, concurrent with Toronto, design week and the Gladstone’s annual textile show, Hard Twist curated by Chris Mitchell and Helena Frei, at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto, 1214 Queen Street West.
Please come up to the bar.
cheers
