The Moleskine Project VI
A group exhibition
Curated by Rodrigo Luff & Ken Harman
7 / 8 / 17 - 7 / 29 / 17
Spoke Art is pleased to present the sixth annual Moleskine Project, a group exhibition curated by Sydney-based artist Rodrigo Luff and gallery owner Ken Harman. This dynamic format-driven group exhibition spans across the globe, artistic professions, styles and media to delve into the intimacy of the artists’ sketchbook.
With over 50 contributing artists, the latest installment of the exhibition continues to evolve and expand on each artists’ individual practice and the commonalities within the ubiquitous sketchbook. Allowing viewers and artists alike to peek into the intimate realm of the art making process, each piece plays with the balance between refined finality and lingering thoughts yet to be completed.
Co-curator Rodrigo Luff describes the show as “a tribute to how artists have developed and grown by using sketchbooks to dive deeper into the personal realms that fuel their artwork, exploring new ideas, concepts and even experimenting with different media and styles. An energetic visual dialogue of imagery flows from frame to frame, forming a collective sketchbook that allows us to appreciate the radically individual approach taken by each artist.”
Please join us for Moleskine Project VI, opening Saturday, July 8th, with an opening night reception from 6pm - 9pm. The exhibition will be on view through Saturday, July 29th. For more information or additional images, please email us at SF@spoke-art.com.

The Moleskine Project first began in 2011 at Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco as a solo show of sketchbook pages by then-emerging artist Rodrigo Luff. The show has since transformed into an annual group exhibition, featuring the work of different artists from across the world.
SPOKE is an art space specializing in new contemporary painting, sculpture and illustration with an emphasis in accessible programming. Started in 2010, the gallery now houses two locations, one in San Francisco’s Lower Nob Hill neighborhood and one in New York City’s Lower East Side. Each space rotates monthly exhibits that feature a wide variety of solo and group shows, many of which feature an international roster of represented artists.
