Giuseppe Uncini was born in Fabriano in 1929, but he lives and
works in Rome and Trevi (PG).
He created his first Cementarmato in 1958. In 1962, he was one of
the founders of the Gruppo Uno, dissolved in 1967. Still today,
Uncini carries out his idea of building cement objects, whose surfaces
carry the imprints of caissons and iron structures delineate space
and draw it.
Uncini had a solo room at the Venice Biennial in 1984. In 1999,
he exhibited his work in Minimalia. Da Giacomo Balla a
at
the PS1 in New York. In 2001, a retrospective was presented at the
Stadtische Kunsthalle in Mannheim. Still in 2001, he took part in
the exhibition entitled La scultura italiana del XX secolo, cured
by Maurizio Calvesi, in five Japanese museums. In 2002, he participated
in the collective exhibition entitled Ipotesi di collezione, presented
at the MACRO in Rome, cured by Danilo Eccher.
Uncini's relationship with Galleria Fumagalli began in 1995, when
Spazicemeneto was exhibited. The catalogue of the exhibition had
texts by Giovanni Maria Accame. In 1996, the gallery published the
monograph Giuseppe Uncini, with texts by Giovanni Maria Accame,
for De Agostini editions. In 1999, a new volume with texts by Annamaria
Maggi and Marco Meneguzzo was presented on the occasion of an exhibition
at the Centro Arti Visive ex Peschiera in Pesaro. In 2000, the monograph
of the exhibition at Palazzo Fabroni of Pistoia was published, cured
by Bruno Corà. In 2001, on the occasion of an exhibition
at the Stadtische Kunsthalle di Mannheim and in cooperation with
Gallerie Christian Stein and Giò Marconi of Milan, he cured
a volume with texts by Manfred Fath, Volker Feirabend and Marco
Meneguzzo. In 2002, he presented a jewelry exhibition introduced
by Ada Masoero. Galleria Fumagalli is now working on the first volume
of Giuseppe Uncini's Reasoned Catalogue.
