In 'Smoke' Exhibition, Jason Jacques Gallery Partners with the Last Prisoner Project

Jason Jacques Gallery will present an upcoming exhibition in partnership with the Last Prisoner Project.

Titled SMOKE, the exhibition centers on a 19th century smoking set made by the French jeweler Boucheron. The piece is a beautiful, somewhat rarefied, highly decorative, and yet functional art object with a complex history that is relevant to many of the issues encountered today —  attitudes towards the idea of "intoxication" as well a pervasive fear of, yet inexplicable attraction to, the "other."
