Poster for Jane Dickson's 1980 installation at the Fashion Moda gallery which was on view Sep. 6 - Oct. 4, 1980. The installation was a labyrinth composed of discarded cardboard refrigerator boxes which were then spray-painted in a collaboration with graffiti-artists Crash and Noc-167.
Jane Dickson makes paintings and drawings that explore the psychogeography of American culture. Dickson’s practice was forged in the crucible of New York’s late-1970s counterculture, where she participated in artist collectives like Fashion Moda, Collaborative Projects Inc., and Group Material. Working figuratively from her own photographs, especially of New York’s Times Square, where she lived for nearly thirty years, Dickson portrays strip clubs, diners, motels, sex workers, and their seemingly straight-laced foils: suburban homes, driveways, and businessmen.
