The accompanying publication to Swiss artist Claudia Comte’s project at the Bazacle cultural centre in Toulouse, this book examines her work against the background of a genealogy of exhibitions of objects, beginning with curator Philip Johnson’s seminal ‘Machine Art’ (1934) at the Museum of Modern Art. The graphic framework of Comte’s sculptures tends to relate to a form of photogenic obviousness, within which multiple references to the history of art and popular culture exist. Her exhibiting strategies rely on a culture of display once reserved for trade fairs and industry shows, but since the advent of modernism has developed into a particular sort of museological practice.
