The Chanel Contemporary Art Container Opens in Hong Kong
It will be interesting to see what innovative approaches are taken to site-specific dance-making as we see a growth in new organic, mobile, sustainable and responsive architectural forms. I'll be writing about these different architectural structures and looking for examples of dance works created for these environments.
Chanel's Contemporary Art Container
In February Chanel launched an international tour of its futuristic, mobile art exhibit pavilion designed by architect Zaha Hadid (Wikipedia profile). The excellent Chanel Mobile Art website features extensive exterior and interior tours of this curved, organic structure that is now in Hong Kong and will eventually travel to the US and Europe.
Watch an external and internal rendering of the Chanel Contemporary Art Container:
