Detour, the travelling exhibition of artists’ notebooks was at the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana and Alcova during Milan Design Week last week.
Created in 2006 by Moleskine and the Moleskine Foundation, Detour is much more than a simple art exhibition: it is an experience, which transports the visitor into the heart of the creative process, from the mind of the artist to the page of the notebook.
More than a hundred unique works by artists from all over the world were on show in Milan, helping to raise awareness of creativity as a tool for social change. Among the selected artists: Giorgia Lupi, Antonio Marras, Pascale Marthine Tayou and Joana Vasconcelos.
“Detour is a celebration of diversity and human creativity,” says Daniela Riccardi, ceo of Moleskine. “Each notebook tells a unique story, reflecting the background and vision of the artist who created it. We are thrilled to bring this extraordinary exhibition to Milan, a city that perfectly embodies the spirit of innovation and creativity.”
