Giuseppe Uncini's Shadow Sculptures Extended at Fondazione Marconi

exhibition · 2026-04-27

Fondazione Marconi in Milan has extended Giuseppe Uncini's solo exhibition 'La conquista dell’ombra' to February 8, 2020. The show focuses on Uncini's work from 1968 to 1977, when he explored shadows using cement and wood laminate. Uncini, a member of the Scuola di Piazza del Popolo and Gruppo Uno, created geometric forms that cast neutral shadows on the wall, blending lightness and solidity. Highlights include the 1976 site-specific installation 'Grande parete Studio Marconi MT6' and works on paper, collages, maquettes, and sculptures exploring thresholds and projections.
