Designed as immersive portfolios, this survey of Mai-Thu Perret's career highlights her mixed-media works combining craft-making techniques with feminist and avant-garde scholarship For the last 25 years, French Swiss visual artist Mai-Thu Perret (born 1976) has built an acclaimed body of work that merges a talent for storytelling and a deep understanding of how visual art can be a powerful discourse through which to raise and solve contemporary issues. Her sculptures, paintings, ceramic works, textile works, performances and text pieces exist at the intersection of contemporary culture, art-historical critique and visceral materiality. She explores--and generates--feminist narratives and counternarratives that cast the role of the art object in a new light, introducing utilitarian, symbolic and even mystical possibilities in contexts that are often limited to formalist readings. With new essays by noted scholars and an extensive conversation between the artist and French art critic and curator Ida Soulard, this comprehensive monograph spans the artist's practice over the last 10 years.
