Au Revoir, Chanel Mobile Art

Sorry, London, Moscow, and Paris. Chanel’s Mobile Art container will not be making its scheduled landings in your fair cities. After its much-buzzed about stops in Hong Kong, Tokyo, and New York, Chanel has decided to to halt the world tour of the project, an exhibition of Chanel handbag-inspired artworks by the likes of Sophie Calle, Lee Bul, and Stephen Shore tucked inside a sleek pod designed by Zaha Hadid. “Considering the current economic crisis, we decided it was best to stop the project,” a Chanel spokeswoman told WWD.
