The so-called Contemporary Art Container by Architect Zaha Hadid houses a travelling exhibit of Chanel inspired creations
Pinay New Yorker:
The New York exhibit can be found in Rumsey Field, best approached from Fifth Avenue between 69th and 72nd Streets.

As you walk up to the main staging area, you are greeted by this curious looking structure which appears to be a party venue not open to the public.
Pinay New Yorker:
Up close, it makes for an interesting glass canvas and which photographs well despite the poor lighting condition on this muggy autumn day.
Pinay New Yorker:
The exhibition is free but has been sold out for weeks now. Limited same day admission is available half an hour before the doors open at 8:30am.

Pinay New Yorker:
There is a ribbon of light that changes hues around the whole structure.

The architect says the concept is that of a 'loop' which means you enter and exit from the same point.
Pinay New Yorker:
Inside are creations by 20 (some say 15) artists who have created their art based on the inspiration of the quilted Chanel bag.
Pinay New Yorker:
I went around it and found the reflections of nature on its white shiny surface an interesting subject.

Pinay New Yorker:
Notice the shade has changed to purple from blue -- a subtle gradation of light that just creeps up on you..
Pinay New Yorker:
It was worth the effort to make it to Central Park on a muggy day. My camera didn't disappoint me.
