Swiss-born Mai-Thu Perret has spent the last 16 years making work based on a fictional feminist art commune she created called The Crystal Frontier. The commune is made of imaginary women from New Ponderosa, who live in autonomy in the New Mexico desert and make work that runs the visual gamut. From the painterly to the sculptural, they often employ aesthetic tropes of Modernism and align their work with utopian Modernist movements.
