When Does Provocative Art Cross The Line?
Announcing Audra Jacot as a selected artist for the art exhibition that will be on display at Glappitnova’s The Big Night Showcases July 13th & July 14th .
Audra Jacot’s work celebrates the empowerment of sexuality. With the tactility and eroticism of clay, she reflects on the idea of woman as functional vessel by creating phallocentric, yet androgynous creatures and glaze them with white, perversely elegant Majolica glaze – a faux porcelain – which renders them semen-esque. This combined with the exhibitionist quality of neon, comments on the symbiotic relationship of pornography and technology. Jacot recently received her MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she studied Art and Technology. Her work was recently featured in Bravo’s 100 Days of Summer. She was also named one of VAM Magazine’s Top 20 Chicago Influencers of 2015. She currently works full time at SAIC as the Campus AV Tech Manager as well as continues to show work and curate at both traditional and DIY gallery spaces in Chicago.
