The Rhodia no. 12 project
The Rhodia no. 12 project was curated by BooksActually in Singapore . Books Actually is a wonderful small bookstore run by Karen and Kenny, who will always find a great book to recommend if you visit them, and you should !
They invited individuals from various creative disciplines to draw, write, paste objects, or cut-up-into-shreds -- basically do whatever they desire, options from using it as a journal, or creating an artwork using the Rhodia No. 12 as their medium.
A month-long exhibition took place in Books Actually from 6 November till 5 December 2006, and we are happy to now welcome this exhibition at Kapok.
Why No. 12?
RHODIA No. 12 was specially chosen since it is the most portable size which can slip into any pocket - and internationally renown fashion designer Paul Smith's favourite! The Paul Smith for RHODIA notepad range can be found at Kapok.
