Not Chess Strategies But Interesting Nonetheless

Washington Square News reports that Washington Square Park is lit up with giant chess pieces in an art exhibit called "Well-Lit Chess pieces".

Not a chess strategies article, but interesting.. if any of you New Yorkers have seen this could you post a comment? (and send photos?)

Here's an Excerpt:

Saturday night, as part of a new public art exhibition, Washington Square Park was subtly transformed into a magical metropolitan center of chess and the romance of light.

The project called "Well-Lit Chess Pieces" is the product of five years of effort by local artist Marjorie Kouns, who was inspired by what she called the simultaneously playful and serious nature of chess. In the four corners of the park, she has placed 26 colorful, varnished lamp shades over streetlights, as well as 11 giant chess pieces in the grass around the southwest corner.
