"Projects 69: Julia Jacquette"

Since 1990, New York-based artist Julia Jacquette (b.1964) has been creating paintings about
notions of romance, desire, and elegance. Her images of cliché food dishes from the 1950s
juxtaposed with erotic phrases that play on common culinary adages are playful and
provocative metaphors for the relationship between eating, sexuality, and femininity.
Jacquette's project for MoMA features paper products designed by the artist, including plates,
cups, and napkins printed with original imagery and text by Jacquette. Visitors are invited to
drink and eat from these works, providing a direct encounter with the issues explored.
