Does creativity require a special kind of space? Well, given total
liberty, creativity has no particular requirements in terms of venue.
It will thrive equally well in a room, a box, a garden, or a ... shipping container.
Working
in conjunction with
Absolut, the Swedish vodka maker that has
established a strong identity as a shaper of media creativity and
expression, Moleskine has created an art exhibition in Beijing
featuring artist's versions of Moleskine notebooks in an unusual
location: in an array of shipping containers scattered through the
city's network of streets.


Each author lets his imagination running wild on the "Japanese album"
version, characterised by 60 zigzag folded pages of top quality heavy
paper to collect a new-born idea and see its development.
A full
personalised Moleskine: from the blue Absolut band, to the reflected
wording (as Moleskine is known to be the legendary notebook used by
Paplo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway and Bruce Chatwin, Absolut inspired
Andy Warhol, Jean-Paul Gaultier, John & Yoko, Arthur Golden, Spike
Lee, Biennale and many others), to the bottle shaped barcode.


The brand was born more than 125 years ago and is currently present on
126 markets, other than having gained the third place and being among
the first branch's brands, according to Forbes 2002.

Maybe you don't know that "vodka" means "little water" in Russian!
