Wonderspaces Art Installation at The Lafayette Hotel
07.26.18
The Lafayette Hotel, Swim Club & Bungalows just debuted AMA: Into the Deep, a new work by Los Angeles-based artists Kent Yoshimura and Kameron Burk that transforms a hotel room into a multi-sensory art installation.
Kent and Kameron transformed Room 214 into an art installation exclusively available at The Lafayette Hotel through August 25.
Inspired by the hotel’s iconic Weissmuller Pool and the pearl diving traditions of Japan, the experience captures the way you find comfort in nostalgia and that feeling of the first time you ever dove into the deep end and stared up at the sun.
The Hallway: Entering the Water: Hotel guests will be greeted with a hotel key card specifically designed for Room 214.
The Bedroom: Inhabiting the Water: Nightlights above the nightstands will be replaced with hanging water droplet lights constructed with nylon and interactive LED. The hotel room walls will be layered strings of fabric creating a blue ombre gradient.
The Bathroom: Seeing Reflections: The mirror, a reflective surface similar to water, will not be contained by the frame inside Room 214.
Kent Yoshimura is a muralist, filmmaker and entrepreneur who has directed content for global brands such as McDonald’s, Lego, AT&T, Benjamin Moore and Ford. As an artist, he has been featured on NBC for his large-scale public art pieces, the New York Times for his mural work, and in TIME Magazine, Huffington Post, Men's Health, Viceand NPR for his YouTube videos. In 2016, Yoshimura painted the largest mural in Shanghai within a four-story staircase.
Kameron Burk, an experienced designer and creative technologist, has worked at Walt Disney Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering R&D. His extensive knowledge of the entertainment and architecture industries enabled him to take on the design and recreation of a diverse array of environments.
This collaboration between The Lafayette Hotel, Swim Club & Bungalows, Kent Yoshimura and Kameron Burk is part of Wonderspaces’ Spotlight Series, an initiative delivering extraordinarily accessible art to non-traditional venues and spaces, and will run alongside Wonderspaces summer 2018 show, With Creative License. The show is at the B Street Pier.
The boutique hotel’s playful retro design, iconic Weissmuller Pool, and culture-filled, North Park neighborhood location presented the Wonderspaces creative team a unique opportunity to greenlight the Spotlight Series project.
Through August 25, hotel guests will be able to check-in and check-out the transformed hotel room. Room rates from Sunday through Thursday are $195, and $245 from Friday to Saturday. To book the Wonderspace experience at The Lafayette Hotel, visit Wonderspaces.com or LafayetteHotelSD.com.
The Lafayette Hotel is located on 2223 El Cajon Blvd., San Diego.
