CHANEL MOBILE ART SHOW

London architect Zaha Hadid designed the Chanel Mobile Art pavilion, which has already made a stop in Tokyo. The structure is made of lightweight panels that are packed in 51 shippable containers. Each participating artist was asked to create a work that was at least in part inspired by Chanel’s classic 2.55 quilted-style chain handbag.

The pavilion will occupy the Rumsey Playfield, midpark at 70th Street NYC, from Oct 20 to Nov 9 2008.
