Take a Seat – Public Art Installation

File this under reasons we love New York. Take a Seat is a public installation piece that “creates value simply by relocating an object to a new location”. The project encourages people rescue usuable chairs that have been thrown away and leave them on subway station platforms lacking in seating options.
The project allows anyone to contribute with a simple act. The primary focus is New York but the organisers are calling on people to participate whereever they may be, interstate or overseas, it doesn’t matter so long as it is in keeping with the project’s ideals.
