Catalogue Note
"Uncini si cimentò con un altro materiale industriale, il ferro, ma scelse di dar voce alla 'materia muta' non ricorrendo a contrasti cromatici, bensì a contrasti tra materiali, ad esempio tra ferro e cemento. Così nacque una poesia del materiale, un'archeologia delle sensazioni, una trasformazione della civilizzazione industriale che divenne punto di riferimento per Kounellis e altri rappresentanti dell'arte povera".
