Chanel Mobile Art exhibition

Suds and I recently visited the Chanel Mobile Art container here in Hong Kong. It is a movable container designed by Zaha Hadid. It will be traveling to Tokyo, New York, Paris and London.

Inside are the works of 20 contemporary artist inspired by the famous Chanel quilted bag. The only artist involved I had heard of was Yoko Ono.
Featured artists include: Lee Bul, Daniel Buren, Blue Noses, David Levinthal, Fabrice Hyber, Leandro Erlich, Loris Cecchini, Michael Lin, Nobuyoshi Araki, Pierre & Gilles, Sophie Calle, Soju Tao, Stephen Shore, Subodh Gupta, Sylvie Fleury, Tabaimo, Wim Delvoye, Yang Fudong, Yoko Ono, and Y.Z. Kami.


We had no idea what to expect. After entering you are loaned an ipod with a 32 minute follow along guide to walk you thru the exhibition.

There were some strange things inside this thing....a swing with a sex toy seat, video of fat people on air mattress', and stuffed pigs covered in tattoos.


Can't say we were impressed with the majority of what we saw, you know how I am a real art lover :) But there was a neat piece called Sidewalk Reflections (I think) by Leandro Erlich.
