Silvia GIAMBRONE's work will be on view as a part of the the new contemporary art collection Eloquent Silences opening on May 19th at 11 AM, at the Beato Pellegrino Library of the University of Padua. The collection is dedicated to female artistic production.
The project, made possible thanks to the support of the Contemporary Art Plan - PAC2024, under the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture, identifies the libraries of the University of Padua as venues for the promotion and preservation of artworks. It establishes a widespread female art collection within the university libraries, featuring works by female artists who have reflected on and addressed gender-based violence and inequality.
The inauguration of the collection is part of the conference “Eloquent Silences: A Day for Presenting New Acquisitions to the University’s Contemporary Art Heritage,” held on the same day at Palazzo Maldura in Padua, starting at 9:15 AM, on May 19.
During the conference, the project curated by Guido Bartorelli and Greta Boldorini will be presented, with the participation of Silvia Giambrone and the heirs of Mirella Bentivoglio, alongside several scholars. The afternoon session, held at the Psico2 building of the School of Psychology, will focus on the rich contemporary art heritage of the University of Padua.
The event also includes free, continuously running guided tours of the artworks from 1:00 to 4:00 PM, open to conference attendees and all interested visitors. The tour will also feature thematic bibliographic exhibitions set up at the various locations.
Participation is subject to registration.
