James Fuentes is pleased to present Jane Dickson, All That Is Solid Melts Into Air. The exhibition includes works spanning from the early 1980s to the present, each offering an important document of New York City.

Jane Dickson is known for her vivid depictions of Times Square’s nocturnal energy. Born in Chicago,

Dickson arrived to New York in 1977, and a year later began a job programming visuals for Times Square’s first digital billboard. She mostly worked the night shift and was responsible for the New Year’s Eve countdown, witness to upturned faces basking in the hallucinatory glow. Two years later she moved to an apartment on 43rd Street and 8th Avenue, where she lived and raised two children with her husband. From this vantage point Dickson observed Times Square after dark, absorbing the seductive haze and structured environment in which figures and shadows moved.
