Last Saturday we gathered at The Collective 62 for a wood firing, an activation of Materia Viva, curated by @bonet.hekit  with @pili.fer  @benditobarrogres Pilar Fernandez Lerda tending the flame inside a kiln built by hand by Desiree de Ridder @desiree_deridder together with the Collective 62 community.
There’s something irreplaceable about this process — slow, attentive, communal. No switch to flip, no thermostat to set. The fire asks for presence, and everyone shows up for it. Wood firing doesn’t run on electricity or gas — it runs on time, intention, and people working together. That’s a different kind of energy entirely.
Artists, your pieces are ready for pickup at your convenience. Come by when you can! 
Already looking forward to the next session. The kiln is waiting.

Materia Viva brings together works that engage clay as a living material — one that remembers, responds, and transforms. Shaped by touch, pressure, sound, and time, clay appears throughout the exhibition as body, as record, and as voice. Rather than treating clay as a passive medium, the works presented approach it as an active participant in processes of making, listening, and remembering.
Yesterday felt like exactly that. Thank you for activating it with us 🌿 The show is still on view and we’ll be firing March 21. Save the date !
