In 1934 the architect Philip Johnson presented a series of manufactured objects at MoMA. Fascinated by the precision of industry at the time, he saw the pure lines of these objects as the materialisation of an ideal Platonic beauty. In the 1990s, with thirty years of hindsight on the modernist designs of the 1930s, Johnson mocked his own ideas while praising the quality of the staging he had conceived.

 

Claudia Comte’s project was conceived is in the light of this retrospective analysis. The main aim is to play with the vocabulary of museography in the context of an art exhibition featuring industrial objects. The approach of the young Swiss artist Claudia Comte is at once that of a sculptor, a painter and a scenographer who devises a specific environment for each of these forms.

Exhibition in partnership with  MECAPROTEC INDUSTRIES, AIRBUS, RATIER FIGEAC, LOUIS GENTILIN S.A, RECAERO, LATECŒRE, R-MECA, CGR
