2025

The Domaine du Muy, dedicated to contemporary art, in the heart of the Var countryside, is pleased to announce the opening of its new season, from June 5 to October 5, 2025.

Swiss artist Claudia Comte is the guest of honor for this edition. Her work is deeply rooted in a reflection on the links between nature, technology, and craftsmanship and unfolds through a multidisciplinary approach combining sculpture, wall painting, installation, and architecture. Comte draws inspiration from natural systems, art history and artisanal techniques to explore the evolution of forms over time and in the environment.

For the Domaine, she has conceived a specific intervention, produced in collaboration with MAZE and the Domaine du Muy. Covered in black-and-white geometric motifs, the work Whoever Has Learned How to Listen to Trees spans over 3 x 6 meters. It is the tenth piece in a series of self-supporting wall paintings and the first to include text (from Herman Hesse’s essay On Trees). 

Another new sculpture form her marbles cactus series has been installed in front of the SilverHouse. Created through a process that blends wood cutting, 3D modeling, and robotic carving in Carrara marble, this piece embodies her approach of combining tradition and innovation. By working with

a material which symbolizes permanence, Comte questions resilience and adaptation in today’s ecological context.

A selection of her works will also be presented in the SilverHouse exhibition space, offering a glimpse into the richness of her visual practice, marked by an aesthetic that oscillates between formal rigor, pop culture, and organic abstraction.

In addition, the sculpture park continues to showcase some twenty contemporary outdoor works and remains accessible by invitation only, in keeping with the intimate experience that defines the site. With this new season, the Domaine du Muy reaffirms its commitment to contemporary artists, offering them a creative space in direct dialogue with the landscape.
