myDetour / Mapping Contemporary Venice. With their art tools and their Moleskine notebooks at hand, 30 international students from the top Venetian universities and art foundations created a collection of decorated notebooks that reveal a new perspective on the lagoon city.
Through their creations they establish possible links between the city's past and visions of a imaginary future. Watch the "making of" video by one of the students' groups.
Detour / Mapping Contemporary Venice is a co-production of VIU, Venice International University, and Moleskine.
A new exhibit to leaf through. Works collected from the different myDetour stops around the world and 32 notebooks created by artists from the Ateliers of the Fondazione BLM.
The installation is by Croatian artist Ivana Franke. The theme is one of "mental imagery" and the creative hallucinations following a stroboscopic light beam exhibition experienced with eyes closed.
The notebooks have been selected, so have the authors. myDetour Shanghai's jury discloses the best ten names, chosen for their creativity and technical skills. Among them, Wang Rui Jia and her pocket Cahier journal.
