Lecture: Mai-Thu Perret (Webinar)

Mai-Thu Perret will present her multi-disciplinary practice comprising sculpture, painting, video and installation. She will discuss how her work has grown from the foundational narrative of the Crystal Frontier–a fictional story about an autonomous commune of young women in the desert of New Mexico–to more recent projects involving performance and practices associated with craft such as ceramics and textile.

Mai-Thu Perret was born in Geneva in 1976, where she lives and works. She studied English at Cambridge University and was a participant in the Whitney Independent Study Program. She has had solo shows at Spike Island, Bristol (2019); MAMCO, Geneva (2018); the Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas (2016); University of Michigan Museum of Art, Ann Arbor (2010); San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco (2008); and The Renaissance Society, Chicago (2006).
