Inflatable Hotel Room Exhibits

'Hotel Rehearsal' Satirizes the Premiums for Hotels Around NYC

'Hotel Rehearsal' is an art exhibit that satirizes the current real estate climate in one of the world's biggest cities. Anyone who's had to rent a room in or around New York City, whether for short- or long-term, knows that even tiny spaces come at a premium. Artist Alex Schweder's Hotel Rehearsal teases that fact by offering a room the size of a parking space -- which is also actually parked in a parking space.

The Hotel Rehearsal exhibit consists of an inflatable bubble inside of which sits a mattress. This bubble is placed atop a Jacob's ladder which itself sits on a van, making the entire exhibit portable. When activated, the tiny room is hoisted into the sky, acting as a private space in the middle of the city.
