Artwork production and installation in New York

Since 1999, Art Project's expertise has been defined by its ability to provide technical liaison between monumental manufacturing in France and the requirements of international institutions. For galleries in Manhattan and Brooklyn, our 2,000 m² workshop guarantees French industrial excellence adapted to American standards. We oversee the transition from concept to final deployment in the United States, meeting the precision criteria of NYC's greatest museums.

The challenges of installation and fitting in New York

Installing a work of art in the heart of New York City requires careful anticipation of local logistical and administrative challenges. We prepare each project for seamless integration, from the Port of Newark to the city's public or private spaces.

Urban logistics and union coordination (Unions):

Working in New York often involves collaborating with local unions for material handling operations. We coordinate our assembly protocols with the requirements of the Department of Buildings (DOB) and the access constraints specific to skyscrapers or urban parks.

Structural resistance and climatic loads:

Whether installed on a rooftop or in a public square, the manufacturing process incorporates calculations for resistance to high winds and temperature extremes in New York State, ensuring the structure's stability in the face of environmental stresses.

Licenses and public safety:

We provide the technical specifications and anchorage plans required to obtain occupancy and lifting permits, ensuring full compliance with US safety codes.

Monumental manufacturing capacity for the New York scene

Our French workshop is a technological hub capable of handling exceptionally large parts, offering resources that few organizations can mobilize locally in a densely populated metropolis such as New York.

Production capacity and 10-ton bridge:

Thanks to our 10-ton lifting capacity, we carry out exhaustive dry runs in our workshop. This step allows our New York clients to approve the artwork in its entirety before it is shipped across the Atlantic, eliminating any technical risks during the final installation.

Exceptional multi-material expertise:

We transform metal, engineered wood, glass, blown neon, and composites with a level of finish that meets the standards of galleries in Chelsea or the Upper East Side. This in-house versatility ensures the aesthetic and structural consistency of the work.

Transatlantic logistics and technical crating:

We manage customized packaging in accordance with ISPM 15 standards and oversee transit (by air or sea) to the United States. We handle customs clearance and door-to-door transport to ensure that exhibition schedules are met.

Technical expertise and engineering dedicated to NYC projects

art project's technical expertise is based on more than 25 years of experience in solving complex construction issues for the global art market.

Integrated precision engineering:

Our design office translates artistic intentions into sustainable manufacturing solutions. We adapt fastening systems and load-bearing structures to meet the specific architectural requirements of New York sites.

Deployment by our specialized technicians:

Our own experts, familiar with the material and the project since its inception in the workshop, carry out the final assembly on site in New York, ensuring millimeter-precise installation.

Durability and finishes:

We select surface treatments (mirror polishing, controlled oxidation, protective varnishes) that can withstand the harsh urban environment of New York City while maintaining the visual integrity of the artwork.
