Silvia Giambrone's Milan Exhibition Explores Violence in Domesticity

Silvia Giambrone's exhibition at Prometeo Gallery in Milan presents her new series 'Security blanket' (2022), featuring embroidered baby blankets with decorative motifs from Lewis Carroll's 'Alice in Wonderland' paired with phrases from a self-defense manual against sexual assault. The works create a disturbing contrast between comfort and violence, reflecting on how abuse hides in domestic spaces. The show also includes the video 'TRAUM' (2021), documenting a performance where the artist reads a ceramic sheet before dropping it, symbolizing trauma. The piece 'Sub rosa' (2022) evokes silence and transcendence. The exhibition marks the beginning of Giambrone's collaboration with Prometeo Gallery. Carlo Sala, art critic and curator, is noted as a contributor.
