[Art_beyond_sight_theory_and_research] tactile installation

[Lisa Yayla]

Hi,
An article about using gloves for touching an exhibition of notebooks- 
would guess mostly not tactile. But seems the idea about touch in an 
exhibition is spreading.
Regards,
Lisa

At the Frankfurt Book Fair, Moleskine meets the public through the show 
of illustrated notebooks!
Through the special boxes, that is the tactile installation used for the 
Detour exhibitions, you can see and touch the notebooks of events that 
took place all around the world. You are invited to peruse the 
notebooks, with white cotton gloves provided to protect the artworks… In 
the boxes you can find the notebooks of Parsons The New School for 
Deisgn, (selected students of the Illustration Narrative course at the 
Parson’s fill their Moleskine City Notebooks with their personal 
journeys and experiences of New York City over two-month period, and 
donate their works to the non profit Foundation lettera27, supporting 
the WikiAfrica project); My Moleskine and My Favourite Moleskine (two 
international projects for an intimate look at the inner workings of 
creative minds) and Invitation au Voyage (An invitation to all 
travellers in Japan and Asia to design their ultimate travel journal. 
They describe their travels in any kind of style, through word, drawing, 
paintings or collages).
