Mai-Thu Perret (b. 1976 in Geneva from a Swiss father and a Vietnamese
mother; first public exhibition in 2000) is a multi-disciplinary artist
(sculpture, painting, video, installation, dance) living and working in
Geneva. Getting her inspiration from socialist ideology and radical feminist
politics, she is one of the chairs of the "The Crystal Frontier", a project
"documenting" the fictitious life of a women's utopian community established
in the desert of New Mexico.
