Recently named Buzzfeed's incredible site in Connecticut, "Square with four circles" continues to stand out in a city awash with public art.

In 2010 Site Projects undertook its first permanent public art commission by the renowned Swiss artist Felice Varini.

Square with four circles, a 110 ft tall, multi-dimensional wall painting, remains one of our most beloved and well-recognized commissions.

Installed in Temple Plaza in 2010, Square with four circles is Varini's first outdoor public artwork in the United States. Work on the execution of the artwork took place both at nighttime and during the day. The installation was a performance piece in itself offering the public a unique opportunity to observe the artist's process and the evolution of his artwork. Beginning May 23rd, 2010 at night and using a large format, high intensity projector, Varini projected the design into the darkened site. Once the outlines were drawn by the artist and his team, the daytime work of painting the mural began. Painting was completed in the following week and a half. The installation opened June 4th, 2010.

The exhibition of the artwork is on view indefinitely. The site of Square with four circles includes the pedestrian passageway from Chapel Street into Temple Plaza and the exterior surfaces of the sculptural concrete exit ramp of the Crown Street garage. The site of the artwork is contiguous not only to New Haven Green but also to the Shubert Theater and Zinc restaurant. Read More
