Carola Provenzano's Scribbles Deconstruct History at Walden Milano
Walden Milano hosts a solo exhibition by Carola Provenzano (born 1993 in Palermo), titled '...e questo cos'è?' The show features a triptych of three newspaper front pages from the 20th century, which Provenzano defaces with black marker scribbles. The artist treats archival material with a childlike, irreverent approach, drawing lines that ignore chronological order and spill off the page. The selected pages address themes of domination, technology, and shipwreck—topics both historical and contemporary. Provenzano calls her works 'scribbles,' evoking spontaneity and playful informality, yet the black lines are the result of technical repetition and deliberate practice, aimed at dismantling language and structure. The exhibition runs at Walden Milano, with the venue located in Milan, Italy.
