In the 90s, Gai began working with embroidery and knitting, activities traditionally associated with the so-called "women‟s work". In this way, recovering the legacy of American feminisms of the 70s, which sought to revive these practices to put into question the sexual distribution of materials, techniques, knowledge and spaces, within the public and private orders.

El presente artículo propone una aproximación a la obra Insertion H-Kupfer Intra-Uterine (1995) de la artista argentina Silvia Gai. En los años 90, Gai comenzó a trabajar con el bordado y el tejido, procedimientos asociados tradicionalmente a las denominadas “labores femeninas”. De este modo, recuperaba el legado de los feminismos estadounidenses de los años 70, que buscaron revalorizar dichas prácticas para poner en cuestión la distribución sexuada de los materiales, las técnicas, los saberes y los espacios, dentro de los órdenes público y privado. A partir de una materialidad basada en las labores de aguja y de una operación visual corrosiva, que pone en conjunto el delantal como símbolo del ámbito doméstico y los órganos femeninos con dispositivos de uso anticonceptivo, Gai propone una sutil y crítica reflexión acerca del género, la sexualidad, la procreación y el aborto. En esta dirección, la autora retomaba también el legado de las artistas feministas argentinas quienes, en los 80‟s, introdujeron estas problemáticas aún tan espinosas en nuestro campo artístico.
