Claudia Comte's Site-Specific Murals at Castello di Rivoli

Claudia Comte's exhibition 'Come crescere e avere sempre la stessa forma' at Castello di Rivoli features eleven mural interventions that create a dialogue between the artist's biography and the museum's architecture. The Swiss artist, born in 1983 in Grancy, draws from her background under John Armleder and references minimalism, Op art, and gestalt principles. The works, made by removing vinyl film to reveal painted surfaces, evoke natural rhythms, mathematics, and digital culture. The exhibition treats the gallery as a living organism, with walls as skin. Critic Valerio Veneruso notes the show's technical mastery but finds it too indebted to historical precedents like Sol LeWitt, Bridget Riley, and Marina Apollonio, lacking innovation compared to contemporaries like Tobias Rehberger.
