Artists Sarah Keenlyside and Joe Clement took very few "days off" bringing one of the 1980s most famous bedrooms to Toronto's Gladstone Hotel.

Artists Sarah Keenlyside and Joe Clement took very few days off bringing one of the most famous bedrooms of the 1980s to Toronto's Gladstone Hotel.

"I like to call it an exercise in extreme nostalgia," Keenlyside said. "If I could take the Back To The Future car into the past, I wanted to land in Ferris' room."

The room was featured at the Gladstone's Come Up To My Room exhibit earlier this year, but in case you missed it the above segment from Exhibitionists — produced by Keenlyside herself — is the next best thing.

Watch Exhibitionists this Sunday at 1:30pm (2pm NT) on CBC Television. Exhibitionists will return to its normal 4:30pm (5pm NT) timeslot on March 20.
