The relationship between artist and notebook is a natural one. Several years ago, the timeless connection between creativity and the blank page took form in a collaboration between The Museum of Modern Art and Moleskine®. Originally a single custom notebook, today's relationship encompasses much more.
In both Tokyo and New York, MoMA's stores have hosted events and displays for Detour and myDetour, the traveling Moleskine® exhibitions. More than a dozen limited edition notebooks have been created with the Department of Film and Video, recognizing the important cinematic contributions of international directors like Roberto Rossellini, Abbas Kiarostami, and Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Other limited editions have been created to record milestone events at the Museum, such as the New York Atlantic Pacific subway station project. So that art enthusiasts can have a place to record their inspiration, a line of classic MoMA Moleskine® notebooks is offered to visitors of MoMA's stores and website.
And now, for the first time, the heir to the legendary notebook takes shape as a series of products inspired by MoMA. These first editions -- a New York City 2010 Planner designed to celebrate MoMA's iconic role in New York City, and a duo of products commemorating the 2009-10 exhibition, Bauhaus 1919-1933: Workshops for Modernity -- are yet another chapter in a story that continues to unfold.
The initiative starts with a question asked by Matteo Schubert of Alterstudio Partners, Milano: the hand of the architect, the sketch, is it still useful in a CAD era?
More than 100 internationally recognized architects answered by sending to FAI hundreds of hand drawn works, revealing that sometimes the hand is faster than the computer. An exhibition was organized by FAI- Fondo Ambiente Italiano- called "The Hand of the Architect" with 378 autographed drawings, donated to FAI by their authors as a tribute to Piero Portaluppi, the Milanese architect who designed Villa Necchi Campiglio, beautifully restored and opened to the public by FAI.
Moleskine has designed the catalogue in collaboration with Abitare Mgazine: it includes all the sketches, as well as biographies and texts from designers, historians and art dealers. The catalogue, a 228 page Moleskine Folio notebook in A4 format is accompanied by a 120 blank page Cahier to be sketched through and through.
After the exhibition, the works were auctioned and all proceeds went to Villa Necchi Campiglio's restoration and upkeep.
