Pro Helvetia presents Swiss artist Mai-Thu Perret's installation Balthazar at INSERT2014
Mai-Thu Perret is an internationally acclaimed Swiss artist, her multifaceted practice ranges from sculpture, installation, painting, video and textile works drawing from a wide array of art and art historic references.
Balthazar is a life-sized woven donkey sculpture made out of rattan. The donkey, suggests hard physical labour and in Christian tradition stands for the poor and for women. The subject of the work and its proximity to handicraft and design - to traditionally female occupations- is mirrored in the materiality of the rattan-donkey.
