Giuseppe Uncini on display in Molise, at the Termoli Museum of Contemporary Art

The exhibition Giuseppe Uncini / Termoli 2019, curated by Arianna Rosica and Gianluca Riccio, is on view until January 12, 2020 at MACTE - Museum of Contemporary Art in Termoli. This is the first exhibition project of the programming for the biennium 2019 - 2020 of the newborn Molise museum, inaugurated last April with a new installation curated by Laura Cherubini and Arianna Rosica of the collection of the historic Termoli Prize.

In continuity with the project of rediscovery and scientific reinterpretation of the more than 470 works belonging to the heritage of the Termoli Prize launched by MACTE at the time of its opening, the exhibition dedicated to Giuseppe Uncini (Fabriano, 1929 - Trevi, 2008) is configured as the first of a series of solo exhibitions dedicated to the main exponents of Italian artistic research who, over time, participated in the Prize, established in 1955, generating works that have become part of the heritage of the Molise municipality. Following these guidelines, the objective that MACTE intends to pursue starting with the Giuseppe Uncini / Termoli 2019 exhibition is to enhance the history of the Termoli Prize, making the museum’s Permanent Collection a place and starting point for a dialogue and a comparison between artists of different generations, thanks to an exhibition program that, alongside in-depth studies on the masters of ’Italian art of the 1960s and 1970s, contemplates the creation of a series of exhibitions dedicated to contemporary artists, open to different languages, from design to architecture, from video art to photography.

The Giuseppe Uncini / Termoli 2019 exhibition brings together eleven works belonging to the different periods of the Marche master’s research, from the experiments of the early 1960s, characterized by the use of reinforced concrete as the central element of his sculpture, to the pictorial parenthesis connected to the reflection on primary structures and on theshadow of the mid-1970s, up to the more mature solutions of the years between the 1990s and the 2000s, in which the relationship with architecture and space, both exhibition and environmental, has been defining itself as the core of his production.

Uncini’s works selected by the two curators, of different sizes and techniques - from the large sculptures belonging to the Spaces-iron and Spaces-cement cycles, to the unpublished and original ceramic and iron sculptures of the early 2000s - will be distributed within theinside the MACTE’s large central hall in a circular exhibition itinerary designed by designer Andrea Anastasio that, in addition to proposing itself as a route punctuated by works emblematic of the Fabriano-based artist’s different cycles of research, will be able to return to the viewer all of Uncini’s creative ductility along with his ability to adopt, within a formal and poetic continuity, continually different linguistic solutions and materials.

A catalog, edited by Arianna Rosica and Gianluca Riccio, will be published on the occasion of the exhibition. The publication will be presented in the fall within the program of MACTE meetings, which on a monthly basis will animate the exhibition throughout its duration.
