It's happened! The lawn chairs, placed in the Times Square pedestrian plazas to much derision, pain and enjoyment, have been gathered up to make way for more permanent chairs. The Times Square Alliance asked sculptor Jason Peters to create some art from the chairs, and the Post says he used "zip ties to lash about 70 of the chairs together Friday morning in an installation that will stay up until 9 p.m. tonight. Maybe you can say adieu before the public screening of the Mad Men premiere in Times Square at 10 p.m. (details).
The new chairs will be placed in the plazas starting tomorrow; the TSA says it's sending the lawn chairs to people who requested them, "We're also working on a tongue-and-cheek certificate of authenticity to go with each."

It took a sculptor to do that?
Art?
Installation?
Fucking hell.
Cool!
It might have been more interesting if the "artist" melted the chairs or unwrapped the plastic and used them, instead of throwing them in the shitheap that they are now.
My guess is that the Alliance asked him to do something nondestructive so the chairs can still be given away afterwards.
What I really want to know is will there finally be enough of the new chairs and will they leave them out overnight instead of chaining them together so people can't use them? On a related note, will the Alliance stop shooing everyone off the TKTS amphitheater at 1 then putting a guard in front of it? I can see if they needed to clean it, but all they do is spend a few minutes sweeping it off. For a city that never sleeps, New York can sure seem like it's taking Ambien sometimes.
Maybe this winter that artist can do likewise with all the snow that piles up.
If a Sanitation Department crew did this it would be called an eyesore, but since some "artist" got paid to do it this is art.
I was just there. They are putting the new lawn chairs there now. Metallic red and Metallic silver metal chairs. Looks like target
There's a homeless guy who does the same thing everyday outside my building... except with doodie.
It's a real-life Katamari.
"tongue IN cheek"
wow, what a thoughtful, nuanced piece of "sculpture"! I wonder what he got paid for this masterpiece?
