Artes de Exu deals with art objects not only by its artistic and sociological aspects, but also by the aspects that connect these works to the divinity Exu. As if something is contained in the conception, execution and within the history of these works. The chosen objects are: Alexandre Vogler s Tridente de NI (2006) and Mario Cravo Junior s Exu dos Ventos (1992). These works brought conflicts involving press, religion and politics. From ethnographic researches it s built an analysis of the different meanings that have been crossed in the construction of senses that struggle for the symbolic space, also considering the movement between street and gallery, performed by these works. It s also present in Artes de Exu the references collected from the printed press, the image circulation, appropriations and discourses. Some works of Exu appear themselves in the upbringing of these conflicts, as the referred art objects offer the condition to think about the conciliation between different aspects such as: the cross and the trident, Christ and Exu and Christians and African related religions
