    ANTHONY JAMES / FABULISM FORT GANSEVOORT 5 Ninth Avenue, New York, NY, 10014 On View: Thursday May 18 – Saturday, July 8 Opening Reception: Thursday, May 18, 6-9pm New York – May 11, 2017: Fort Gansevoort is pleased to present Fabulism, the first New York solo project in over a decade of British-born, Los Angeles-based artist Anthony James. The exhibition will stage a selection of older works mounted in dialogue with a new body of sculpture in an effort to reflect upon the dynamics of continuity and change within the artist’s practice. The exhibition title speaks to the artist’s interest in elevating ordinary materials through experimentation and transformation. Fabulism, the literary theory of magical realism— which renders the mundane fantastical—is a preoccupation of the artist. The exhibition is curated by Lauri Firstenberg in collaboration with there-there, a new Los Angeles based production company and exhibition space. James debuts his new series of Shields, rendered in steel and bronze, which are highly worked surfaces through a laborious process of painting and additive gestures of refined and subtle metal work. James’s work operates elusively, staggering between the iconic and the arbitrary, the concrete and the alchemic, the mythical and experiential. The artist reveals, "the works evoke pictorial depictions of the cosmos, alluding to notions of mysticism, ethereality, and science fiction, all the while anchored through the use of weighty, industrial materials such as metal and neon." The objects read as relics or artifacts from some liminal moment. As such, James attempts to locate beauty in the wake of insanity.

  • True to the City's Teeming Nature, a New Breed of Multi-Family High Rises
    BY MEI ANNE FOO MAY 14, 2016 True to the city’s teeming nature, a new breed of multi-family high rises is fast cropping up around New York – changing the face of this famous urban jungle forever. New York will always be known as the land of many towers. From early iconic Art Deco splendours such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, to the newest symbol of resilience found in the One World Trade Center, there is no other city that can top the Big Apple’s supreme skyline. Except itself. Tall projects have been proposed and built in sizeable numbers over recent years. The unprecedented boom has been mostly marked by a rise in tall luxury residential constructions, where prior to the completion of One57 in 2014, there were less than a handful of super-tall skyscrapers in New York. Now, there are four being developed along the same street as One57 alone. Billionaire.com picks the city’s most outstanding multi-family high rises on the concrete horizon. 111 Murray Street This luxury residential tower developed by Fisher Brothers and Witkoff will soon soar some 800ft above Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood. Renderings of the condominium showcase a curved rectangular silhouette that looks almost round, slightly unfolding at the highest floors like a flared glass. The modern design is from Kohn Pedersen Fox. An A-team of visionaries has also been roped in for the project, including David Mann for it residence interiors; David Rockwell for amenities and public spaces and Edmund Hollander for landscape architecture.

    March 26, 2015 By Anthony Paletta Rafael Viñoly’s 432 Park Ave., one of the tallest residential towers in the world and the third-tallest building in the U.S. PHOTO: STEVE REMICH FOR THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Manhattan’s skyline is making yet another historical surge upward, though this time with a new crop of super-tall, strikingly narrow apartment buildings that in some cases seem to defy gravity. To see for yourself, walk by SHoP Architects’ 111 W. 57 St., Christian de Portzamparc ’s One57, Jean Nouvel ’s 53 W. 53rd St. or Rafael Viñoly ’s 432 Park Ave. http://www.wsj.com/articles/manhattans-stalagmite-architecture-1427330737 What’s arresting about these structures is their eccentric dimensions. SHoP’s 111 W. 57th St., for example, will boast a width-to-height ratio of 1-to-23. (A standard No. 2 pencil has about a 1-to-30 ratio, and the original World Trade Center towers were a gouty 1-to-7.) Some of these new structures, especially on the upper reaches, are only one unit per floor. It’s partly technology that explains these stalagmite structures. Architects and engineers have tailored improvements in steel and reinforced concrete that facilitate developers’ perennial search for height on an island notoriously short of real estate. What we are witnessing, says SHoP Architects founding partner Gregg Pasquarelli, is a “wonderful golden age of the tall, slender building.” These innovations mark just the latest chapter in the evolving history of the skyscraper. Over the past century, technological breakthroughs have enabled builders to steadily reduce the proportion of structural elements—mainly steel and concrete—in the area where we live, work and play, savings usually given over to glass.
