Mai-Thu Perret's ongoing project "The Crystal Frontier," begun in 1999, is about a fictional all-female commune in New Mexico whose inhabitants raise chickens, cows, horses, and rabbits. Informed by this fiction, she has set to creating curious objects that could be understood as artifacts, prototypes, props, or tools retrieved from The Crystal Frontier. In addition to a variety of national and international group shows she has been mounted in numerous solo exhibitions at: The Renaissance Society, Chicago (2006); Chisenhale Gallery, London; Galerie Praz-Delavallade, Paris; Galerie Francesca Pia, ArtBasel 35, Basel; Centre d’édition contemporaine, Geneva; Galerie Francesca Pia, Bern; and The Modern Institute, Glasgow,
