FIRE – The Boghossian Foundation

25 September 2025 › 1 March 2026 | Boghossian Foundation – Villa Empain, Brussels

Curated by Louma Salamé, the exhibition brings together around fifty modern and contemporary artists from diverse backgrounds around the captivating theme of fire.

Through a wide range of media, including sculpture, painting, installation, photography, video, or tapestry, the works explore the many facets of fire: flame, candlelight, electricity and smoke. From the comforting hearth to grey ashes, from fleeting sparks to blazing infernos, each creation reflects upon the symbolic, physical, and sensory power of this universal element.
