We interviewed Mai-Thu Perret, exhibiting artist at Timothy Taylor Gallery and Frieze Art Fair 2008. She told us about her journey to becoming an artist, about her work and making process.

Known for her multidisciplinary, installation-based practice that integrates socialist subject matter, feminist politics, and classic modernist themes, Perret reanimates issues typically associated with the 1960s and 1970s within a contemporary framework. Her invented worlds synthesize a profusion of art-historical and cultural references, as well as a range of genres—including literature, design, craft, and performance—in order to explore new utopian possibilities and establish an imaginary place that exists outside of a linear conception of time.
