The next time you're in Hong Kong, do check out Chanel's Karl Lagerfield and Zaha Hadid recent collaboration – the blobbish Mobile Art Container – which is to roam the world from 2008 to 2010 showcasing works and installations by 18 international artists.
The collapsible architectural structure has landed in Hong Kong, its first Asian destination. It is ideally located at the open plaza at the main commercial district of Central, just in front of the iconic Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank.
While some gawk at the strange, foreign object, most can't help but notice the head-turning organism that sits in contrast with the dense urban buildings in the background. With the artists were given a brief to create works based around Chanel's back catalogue of iconic handbags, the Mobile Art Container offers an alternative experience for the consumer, by elevating the works of Chanel to that of art in a spatialised cocoon. Catch it before it takes off.
