It may look like a spaceship but this is a futuristic art pavilion shape designed by renowned British-Iraqi deconstructivist architect Zaha Hadid.
The pavilion was set up on the roof of a downtown Hong Kong car park, surrounded by some of the city’s iconic skyscrapers.
Mobile Art, which features artist interpretations of the Chanel iconic quilted handbag will circulate around the globe over the next two years after launching in Hong Kong. The idea of the exhibit is for art to merge with architecture, while adding a fresh element of music to accompany the journey. Visitors are also invited to wear headphones playing a music track.
The shiny white building and its contents will be moved throughout Asia, Europe and the United States. For more information, please visit www.chanel-mobileart.com.
Watch a video tour of an artistic ’spaceship’ inside and out.
VENUE: Star Ferry Car Park – Central, Hong Kong
EXHIBITION PERIOD: 27 February – 5 April, 2008
