Artworks guide the gaze at CASACOR Brasília 2026

At CASACOR Brasília 2026, art takes on different roles in the composition of the projects: it appears in galleries dedicated to contemplation, integrates scenographic projects, and connects decor to family stories. Works by artists such as Di Cavalcanti, Alfredo Volpi, Vik Muniz, and the Campana Brothers coexist with sculptures, signature design pieces, and architectural solutions that enhance their presence.

From spaces designed to display works to projects in which art participates in the narrative, five proposals from the show reveal different ways of integrating artistic production into interiors. The selection brings together varied curatorships, material choices, and lighting resources that bring art, architecture, memory, and design closer together.

Entre, by Alex Claver and Wilker Medeiros

Designed by Alex Claver and Wilker Medeiros, from Studio 2 Arquitetura, Entre brings together different artistic pieces across 150 m². Suspended planes and a kinetic wall challenge the perception of space, while carpet, textures applied to the walls and ceiling, furniture, and natural stones add sensory depth to the composition.

The curatorship by Galeria Expoarte brings together works by Di Cavalcanti, Alfredo Volpi, Vik Muniz, and Siron Franco, as well as signature design pieces from Brasília. The journey culminates in the “Altar of the Handmade”, a core wrapped in green velvet curtains that hosted live artistic workshops, bringing visitors closer to the creative processes.

Espaço Limiar, by Estúdio Talha

In 260 m², Espaço Limiar, designed by Estúdio Talha, explores the relationship between movement and permanence through an art gallery distributed across two levels. Curated by Galeria Karla Osorio, the works are presented along a path of ramps, framings, and suspended pieces, which allows for new perspectives with each movement.

The lighting, integrated with the entry of natural light, highlights the works and contributes to an immersive experience. Exposed concrete, a wooden guardrail, shades of blue, and furniture designed by Jader Almeida complete the composition, demonstrating how architectural choices influence the perception of the works.

Living Carbon, by Eduardo Abdo

Inspired by the trajectory of architect Eduardo Abdo's grandmothers, Nilza Gomes and Terezinha Tavares, Living Carbon transforms family memories into project material. With 50 m², the space was conceived for a young, cosmopolitan couple interested in art and design, combining warmth and contemplation.

The curatorship brings together paintings, sculptures, and pieces from the family collection, including works by Terezinha Tavares herself. The works establish a connection between artistic expression, memory, and belonging.

Limiar, by Três Arquitetura

The Limiar ticket office, designed by Três Arquitetura, transforms the show's entrance into a scenographic experience. In its 59 m², vibrant colors, dramatic contrasts, and materials such as marble, wood, leather, and carpet build a striking visual identity.

In this context, sculptures, paintings, and a signed panel no longer function merely as decorative complements and become part of the space's conception. The presence of the works creates points of interest and guides the gaze along the path, showing how art can also take part in circulation projects.

Espaço São Geraldo, by Tudo Arquitetura e Construção

Designed by Alessandra Lima Oliveira, head of Tudo Arquitetura e Construção, Espaço São Geraldo brings together architecture, care, and artistic expression. The proposal dialogues with the firm's work in the healthcare field, translating well-being through a welcoming atmosphere. Earth guides the palette of natural tones and the selection of materials such as straw, clay, cobogó, terracotta quartzite, and earthy flooring.

The sloped ceiling in a warm chocolate tone and the scenic lighting complement the composition, while works by Tarciso Viriato, Naura Timm, José Maciel, Galeno, and the Campana Brothers bring together different artistic languages. In this ensemble, art contributes to the identity of the project and reinforces the dialogue between culture, materiality, and hospitality.
