Jane Dickson
Jane Dickson( born 1952) is an American painter.
Dickson received her B.A. at Harvard University( 1976) and a Studio Diploma from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston( 1976).
Dickson is known for her dark iconic images that examine" the constructed world, and its psychological freight, the social structuring of desire and its disruption by the uncanny".
Deploying unusual materials such as AstroTurf, vinyl, sandpaper, felt and carpet, which resonate with their particular subject, Dickson's paintings express her" fascination with the power of artificial light, as well as ... surreal and sexually transgressive environment[ s]".
Often depicting the spectacle in her work, her subjects include Times Square( where she lived and/ or worked from 1978 to 2008), demolition derbies, carnivals, suburban homes, and highways, among others.
In addition to her large body of paintings, the artist organized “ Messages to the Public ”, a Public Art Fund series which presented monthly artists ’ projects created for Spectacolor's 1 Times Square Billboard.
The project ran from 1982 to 1990 and the artists presented include Keith Haring and Jenny Holzer.
In her most recent contribution to Times Square, Dickson designed 67 mosaics of New Year's Eve revelers that were installed within the Port Authority 42nd Street and Times Square subway stations.
Commissioned by the MTA( Metropolitan Transit Authority) in 2008, the mosaics are composed of Murano glass, and as art historian Janetta Rebold Benton describes, the figures with their party hats and horns" seem able to elevate the moods of the actual people who hurry along the corridor."
Dickson was associated with the artists collective Collaborative Projects, or Colab.
Her work has been exhibited throughout the United States and is included in major museum collections such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art( MoMA), The Whitney Museum of American Art, and The Art Institute of Chicago.

Stonbely worked briefly in sales promotion and advertising for the" New York Times", then in 1975, he founded Spectacolor, Inc., an advertising company that pioneered the first full- color, computer- programmed, changeable message billboard.
This groundbreaking innovation introduced the concept of selling" time" on billboards, rather than the customary practice of selling" space", a change that would pave the way for outdoor advertising to become a multibillion- dollar industry.
The first Spectacolor sign was installed at One Times Square, the building from which the world- famous Times Square Ball is dropped every New Year's Eve.
Eventually more than 60 Spectacolor signs( including static signs, video displays, and 3 D spectacular signs) were installed in Times Square, along with more than 50 Spectacolor systems in 30 cities in Europe, South America, the Middle East, and across the United States.
In 1984, Spectacolor was chosen by the Marriott Corporation to develop the premiere signage on its new Marriott Marquis Hotel, the first of the developments that led to the rebirth of Times Square that began in the 1980s.
The flagship sign, the Eastman Kodak Company's" Kodarama" display, signaled the return of corporate America to Times Square for the first time since the end of World War II.
Soon Kodak was joined by Hertz, AT&T, JVC, Chock Full o' Nuts, Maxwell House Coffee Company, Planters Peanuts, and Wrigley, to name a few of the iconic brands that helped reestablish a mainstream marketing presence in Times Square.
By 2000, Spectacolor was the world leader in spectacular advertising, operating in over 30 cities around the globe.
That year, Stonbely partnered with Arizona entrepreneur Karl Eller and Clear Channel Communications to form Clear Channel Spectacolor, which he sold to Clear Channel in 2006.
A long- time Times Square advocate,

Upon his death in 1999, legendary outdoor advertising designer Douglas Leigh willed Stonbely his famous lighted snowflake, which has been suspended above the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street in Manhattan every holiday season since 1984.
In 2001, Stonbely dedicated the snowflake to UNICEF, for which more than$ 50 million has been raised since the UNICEF Snowflake Ball gala was launched in 2004.
