For the upArt studio exhibit in Room 202, Gary MacLeod transformed a Victorian hotel room. Macleod filled the space with free-standing sign sculptures and hung illuminated signs and digital images on the walls. This exhibit created a claustrophobic Cinerama of messages, an overwhelming space of visual chatter.
