So, Chanel has decided to build a temporary museum in Central Park, as reported in the New York Times, and I’m helping.

We’re about a week into the project.  In the first photo see the beginnings of the foundation and skeleton of the UFO-styled building.  In the second photo the multi-faceted glass roof is being hoisted into place.  My production assistant duties involve a little bit of everything, from helping move trucks onto the site for unloading, to running off the raccoons that love the catering tent.  As you can probably guess, New York City raccoons aren’t afraid of much.  Overall, it’s a big change from sitting in a Blackberry littered cubicle at a law firm, and that ain’t bad.

I’ll keep posting photos as the structure goes up.
