22 year-old, Caroline Woolard, a Cooper Union student received more attention for her art installation then she bargained for. Her project “Take a Seat” was all about reclaiming public space, and she did just that when she installed plastics seats in outdoor places, in Williamsburg- Greenpoint and the East Village, where she felt the general public would benefit. The blue seats are bolted through holes on poles of “no parking” and “no standing” signs. Unfortunately, her art installations are to be removed because according to the City Wide Vandalism Task Force, installing anything on to street signs is vandalism.

Chairs on signs, sounds like a great idea. Besides the signs say
“no standing,” they say nothing about “no sitting.”
oh that’s funny! did people actually sit down in the chairs?
