Erina Matsu, Detour artist
Over 600 people attended the opening event of
Detour Tokyo, at
MoMA Design Store, on Thursday October 15, 2009.
You can enjoy images of the opening party
here. The 50 notebooks exhibited in Tokyo are now also online. You can flick through the complete collection on the
Detour Video Gallery.
The Tokyo exhibition features 23 new Japanese authors, who contributed to the project by donating their illustrated notebooks to the non profit
lettera27 Foundation, thus joining the Detour travelling collection.
After wearing special cotton gloves, visitors of MoMA Design Store could enter a intimately illuminated tunnel and actually touch notebooks, establishing a direct relationship with the authors' creative process as it unfolds on the pages.
Detour Tokyo comes together with myDetour, the creative relay dedicated to new talents and open to everyone who loves to paint, sketch, write and create freely on the blank pages of Moleskine notebooks.
