A Vilaseca doors inaugurates Corridor Fire, a group exhibition that brings together 20 artists from different generations and languages, marking the closing of the 2025 program. Curated by Lucas AlbuquerqueThe exhibition features artists represented by the gallery and guests from various regions of the country, including Guerreiro do Divino Amor, Rayana Rayo, Thiago Martins de Melo, among others.
In a provocative exhibition design, Fogo Corredor (Running Fire) emerges from reflections on popular stories and enchantments associated with fire. This is the case with the legend that gives the exhibition its title: a supernatural being made of fire, part of popular beliefs from the North and Northeast of Brazil, whose narratives associate it with the souls of dead people who return to frighten, burn, or pursue their victims.
Divided into two floors, the exhibition proposes two complementary exhibition routes. The ground floor groups works that suggest or derive from relationships with the sacred, whether profane or not. André Griffo, Thiago Martins de Melo, and Manuela Costa Lima address the sometimes punitive, sometimes purifying connotations of fire in Christian and pagan traditions, while Paloma Bosquê, Ayla Tavares, and Alex Cerveny propose narratives around rituals, fantastic beings, and syncretic wanderings, exploring the forms and materialities of their works.
On the gallery's third floor, the ghostly narratives of fire appear as a pop element, presented in works that treat it as pastiche, derivation, or virtuality. The group brings together artists such as Guerreiro do Divino Amor, biarritzzz, and Randolpho Lamonier, in whose works fire manifests itself in narratives that intertwine history and politics, evoking historically locatable subjects—living or dead. Mateus Moreira and Luiza Lukah, on the other hand, delve into fabulations about incandescent beings.
In a proposition that combines art, popular history, literature, and fiction, the curator from Rio de Janeiro, Lucas Albuquerque, suggests a supernatural narrative in which each work acts as an entity in a shared story: “Guided by the fictional threads of twenty artists – sometimes anchored in echoes of reality, especially in the works with a more political content – Fogo Corredor presents two small cosmic universes, woven between the vital force of the artist and the spiritual force of those who are summoned and/or imagined.”
We look forward to your visit!
