1. Mapping Contemporary Venice. A new stage in the Detour project.
The city of Venice seen in a new prospective, as an ultra-modern, metropolitan city, out of the picturesque, then mapped and reinterpreted in Moleskine notebooks. This is the theme chosen by the curator, Raffaella Guidobono, which underpins a selection of great architects, artists, academics and designers based in Italy, Brazil, France, Germany, Spain, Mexico, Belgium, the United States, Hungary and Burkina Faso. The exhibition is a special edition of the travelling Detour project, which has already visited London, New York, Paris, Berlin, Istanbul and Tokyo.
