2-TIMES · Art
Mai–Thu Perret,
‘Féminaire’ @
David Kordansky,
Los Angeles
—
“Positioned at either
end of the gallery,
these distinct groups
of objects create a
showdown of
competing geometries
whose gravity &
imposing presence
are reminiscent of
political monuments
and spiritual
architecture.”
Title meaning:
Thu Perrett's ‘Féminaire’
is centered on exploring
(and generating) feminist
narratives and counter-
narratives that cast the
role of the art object in
new light, introducing
utilitarian, symbolic,
and even mystical
possibilities in contexts
that are often limited
to formalist readings.
Mai-Thu's creations:
Consist of sculptures,
ceramic works,
performances, and
texts – existing at
the intersection of
contemporary culture,
art historical insight,
and visceral materiality.
The exhibition:
Is Geneva-based
Thu Perrett's 3rd
solo with David
Kordansky, for
which the artist
presents two
bodies of work:
‘Les guérillères,’
a monumental
installation of
figurative sculptures
positioned on a
single plinth, and
a gridded wall
arrangement of
dozens of ceramic
wall pieces.
