MANILA, Philippines - National Book Store brings to the Philippines the legendary Moleskine notebook, which is the same one used by artists and thinkers for over two centuries, such as Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway and Bruce Chatwin.
For the first time ever, Moleskine and National Book Store are bringing the My Moleskine exhibition to Manila. This exhibit showcases the great diversity of talents, creativity and innovation of contemporary artists based in Asia. For this vibrant exhibition, artists will disclose their work in progress to give the audience an insight of their creative process.
Presented are the works of 34 artists from the fields of design, photography, painting and music who use the Moleskine notebook as their new canvas to freely express and showcase their inspirations and artworks or to share a more intimate side of their work. The unique interactive exhibit allows the audience to peruse the notebooks and to experience them at their own pace as they flip through the pages.
My Moleskine Exhibition will be on display at NBS Glorietta 5 from Oct. 23 to Nov. 30; NBS Rockwell, Dec. 1 to Jan. 22; NBS TriNoma, Oct. 23 to Jan. 22; and Bestsellers Robinsons Galleria, Oct. 23 to Jan. 22.
Along with the exhibit, Moleskine and National Book Store are also launching My Moleskine Open Call Manila, which aims to promote and emphasize the strong association between Moleskine notebooks and artistic expression.
The winner of My Moleskine Open Call Manila will receive P25,000 worth of gift certificates from National Book Store and the best entries will represent the Philippines at the My Moleskine Open Call Shanghai 2010 and have a chance to be part of the permanent roster of Moleskines being showcased around the world.
