Remember those cheap plastic chairs that had been set up along the Broadway pedestrian plaza? The ones that managed to injure a number of misguided tourists who naively assumed you could actually sit on them? Well, they've been replaced. The Times Square Alliance turned them over to an sculptor yesterday who fashioned them into a temporary art installation (above). And today the group installed 400 metal chairs in their place. The old plastic chairs won't be trashed. The Times Square Alliance says it will send 'em out—along with a certificate of authenticity—to anyone who requests one. [Gothamist]
