Gilles Jacot “Homeworks” at Café des Glaces, Tonnerre
Gilles Jacot's exhibition “Homeworks” at Café des Glaces in Tonnerre runs until June 21, 2026. The show explores DIY aesthetics, punk culture, and the transformation of form and meaning through painting directly onto camera lenses. Jacot's work references Crass's 1978 track “Punk Is Dead,” Roland Barthes's “The Death of the Author,” David Antin's essays, and Gucci's Fall/Winter 2026 collection. The text by Dominic Michel emphasizes displacement, rearrangement, and the visibility of labor within artistic practice.
