Central London 9-22 October 2006
DETOUR is an exhibition of 70 illustrated Moleskine notebooks. This unique show takes
place at four separate sites - making a path through central London.
“Detour” is a four-stage exploration, set in the city of London, through the works
of seventy artists who have illustrated, written, drawn, stuck, painted, scribbled,
sewn, cut out, engraved, carved and sculpted Moleskine notebooks. Four strategic
locations in London (Stanfords, a historic bookshop, the huge Waterstones
bookstore, Artwords, the bookshop of an extremely happening art gallery, and
Conran, the design shop), are home to the various artistic Moleskines, contained
in showcases complete with an opening to allow visitors to leaf through them.
The exhibition was curated by Raffaella Guidobono, installed by the designer Lucio
Lazzara and promoted by Moleskine to mark the launch of its new collection with
an urban theme, the City Notebooks.
