EL ESPACIO INTERMEDIO
La muestra bipersonal de Andrea Barreda y Yulia Katkova nos introduce en relatos visuales con planos que alternan su apertura, desde lo focalizado en un elemento significante del cuerpo en los óleos y acuarelas de Yulia hasta la captura de misteriosas interacciones en los óleos, dibujos y grabados de Andrea.
SOMNIA es un universo plástico por descubrir y disfrutar, donde las escenas se abren y se cierran, despertando el impulso de ingresar en ellas, buscando respuestas. ¿Qué hay más allá de lo que se ve? ¿Cuál es la realidad oculta?
Nabokov decía que al leer un relato hay que hacer un mapa para descubrir el espacio donde el relato se mueve.
El mapa de Andrea nos lleva a las fronteras de los mitos y las leyendas, donde se cruzan historias por las cuales jóvenes mujeres transitan en busca de respuestas.
El mapa de Yulia se construye a partir de los pies de su personaje mujer, alusión a caminos recorridos o por recorrer, cuyas estancias agrupan objetos que conectan con las experiencias de lo cotidiano y nos ayudan a armar las historias de las cuales emergen.
Hay una tensión entre la narración no exenta de peligros y la descripción detallada de cada fragmento de estos universos: este es el espacio intermedio en cuyo centro está el “ estoy aquí y veo “ de estos dos mundos narrativos en constitución progresiva, que emergen ante nosotros desde una fragmentación simbólica.

THE INTERMEDIATE SPACE
The two-person exhibition by Andrea Barreda and Yulia Katkova introduces us to visual narratives composed of shifting perspectives. These range from the focused attention on a significant element of the body in Yulia’s oils and watercolors, to the capture of mysterious interactions in Andrea’s oils, drawings, and prints.
Somnia is a visual universe to be discovered and experienced, where scenes open and close, awakening the impulse to enter them in search of answers. What lies beyond what we see? What hidden reality unfolds behind these images?
Vladimir Nabokov once said that when reading a story one should draw a map in order to discover the space through which the narrative moves.
Andrea’s map leads us to the borders of myth and legend, where stories intersect and young women move through them in search of answers.
Yulia’s map is constructed from the feet of her female character—an allusion to paths already traveled or yet to be explored. The spaces she inhabits gather objects that connect with everyday experience and help us assemble the stories from which they emerge.
There is a tension between narrative—never free of danger—and the detailed description of each fragment of these universes. This is the intermediate space, at whose center lies the statement “I am here and I see,” belonging to these two narrative worlds in gradual formation, emerging before us through symbolic fragmentation.
