CHANEL - MOBILE ART container
CHANEL has decided to make the legendary quilted bag the focus of an event on an international scale: MOBILE ART.
Just as fashion spreads throughout the world, this traveling event will be presented in Asia, the United States and Europe.
In a futuristic pavillon created by the architect Zaha Hadid, 20 international contemporary artists will exhibit work inspired by the elements that give the emblematic quilted bag from CHANEL its identity. Their unique visions, unexpected interpretations - poetic, cheeky and inspirational - reveal the multiple facets of this emblematic bag in all the artistic expressions.
The artists:
Blue Noses, Daniel Buren, David Levinthal, Fabrice Hyber, Leandro Erlich, Lee Bul, 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, Y.Z. Kami, Soundwalk/Stephan Crasneanscki.
