Galleria Scia in Milan's Periphery Fosters Artistic Dialogue Through Experimental Exhibitions

Galleria Scia, located in Milan's periphery, operates as an exhibition space focused on emerging artistic research and fostering relationships between artists, works, and audiences. Founded by Francesco Giannantonio, the gallery evolved from its previous identity as StudioHomeAwareness, which emphasized studio, home, and awareness concepts. The venue features a composite architecture resulting from merging previous activities. Its programming has included early collective exhibitions with artists like Agne Raceviciute and Carolina Papetti, followed by solo shows featuring interdisciplinary practitioners such as Diego Gelosi and Rachele Calisti. A rebranding collaboration with creative consultant Mattia Maisto led to the current name Scia, suggesting trace and continuity. From March 19 to April 18, 2026, the gallery presents Alessandro Simonini's solo exhibition 'VLAD: Virtual Liminal Access Devices' with critical text by Claudio Kulesko, exploring consciousness as liminal space through anatomical elements and sensory investigation.
