Josefina Ayllón & Beatrice Meoni | Geografia dell’attrito

Following the exhibition Viaggi / Journeys, presented in London last July, and Another Look at Reintegra Fine Art, A+B, Alma Pearl, Matèria and z2o Sara Zanin, the galleries come together once again for the third chapter of their shared dialogue with this exhibition, opening on Saturday, March 7, 2026.

If traditional geography orders, delineates, and assigns fixed positions, Geography of Friction proposes an unstable map, defined by points of resistance rather than coordinates. The exhibition invites viewers to traverse a territory where the artwork, rather than being a point of arrival, becomes an interruption, a temporal dilation, a generative slowing down — the unforeseen that alters the very way of proceeding and, in turn, of knowing the world through painting.

The exhibition brings together surfaces and fragments made intense by painterly matter, possible narratives, irony, and staging strategies capable of shifting the trajectory of the ordinary gaze. The friction that emerges is to be understood as an active experience that reorganizes the geography of the visible and transforms observation into a form of proximity between body and memory.
