 'Advancing, Retreating' is an iterative process that seeks its point of equilibrium, by tracing the space with the exploration of action and movement, not with the concept itself.
The artist sculpts the 'space' as raw, primordial  material  to return the 'Space' as an element of meaning for humans, as a synaptich environment for the body.
Not an a priori Kantian space, but the result of the dialectical  fine perception of the density, a border between the full and the empty, between the delineated traces of the graphite on paper and the  energetic movement of the body  in the space, on a search for the strange attractors, unperturbed centers of imperceptible vibrations.

It is a stable representation of the region of chaos, tracing the border of temporary balance between a controlled emotion reminescent Soviet realism with the creative emotion  of Western performance in a  dialogue that the artist Jaanika Peerna, belonging to both cultures, tries to elaborate in her research and her works.

On view there will be a large room-size drawing installation, a trilogy of counterpoint drawings, and a video installation.  The artist will hold a drawing performance working on the large gallery windows.


The exhibition is dedicated to the memory of Nando Randi, founder of Ninapì art gallery.

One condition. Four approaches. What will occur? Four artists will perform simultaneously on four paper platforms for four hours within the characteristic ambiance of the MPA-HUB. Each of them chooses one more material to work with. During the time zone of four hours you are invited to witness singular approaches, occurrences and spheres.
