Esser Spazio
<span><span>The project was submitted to the commission for the International Competition <em>SPAZIO/MAXXI due percento</em>, published in October 2008, for the creation of two works of art for the MAXXI Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo, Rome: one had to be designed for the atrium of the museum and another one for the outdoor areas. </span><br />The light work <em>Esser Spazio</em> had to be placed outside the MAXXI Museum, integrating the architectural environment with discretion and inhabiting the final steps of the square above the entrance to the museum. Uberti, coherent with its artistic research which often aims at drawing symbolic shapes and signs on the architectural and urban public space – sometimes with effects of displacement, sometimes to emphasize the characteristics and peculiarities of the place - in this case suggested a sentence, a motto and at the same time a call, asking the public to actively participate in the construction of the museum: then reflecting on the meaning of this new space for contemporary art, on its role in respect to the culture, but also on the shape of the city itself. The project was submitted to the commission for the International Competition SPAZIO/MAXXI due percento, published in October 2008 by the Provveditorato interregionale per le opere pubbliche per il Lazio, l’Abruzzo e la Sardegna, in agreement with the PARC Direzione generale per la qualità e la tutela del paesaggio, l’architettura e l’arte contemporanee.<br />The work didn't win the competition.<br /><a href="https://www.repository.unipr.it/bitstream/1889/2333/1/uberti_essere%20spazio.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more</a>.</span>

Orbite
<em>Orbite</em> is a site-specific project designed for the Palazzo della Regione Lombardia in Milan: on two of its façades (the south-east and north-west one) Uberti wanted to install the light drawing of a portion of the orbits of the solar system. The orbital map was taken from the NASA site and redesigned, scaled. The request was made to Massimo Uberti, along with four other international artists, by a manager of the Lombardy Region in 2009. The goal was the development of the new headquarters of the Lombardy Region with large, site-specific contemporary art works. The project<em> Orbite</em> was developed by Uberti in collaboration with N.O. Gallery, directed by Ilaria Barbieri Marchi. The cost of the project was € 200,000 and covered all expenses, from concept design to the set up and the communication plan. Until the delivery of the executive projects, the work was feasible. Once delivered, the reasons for non-completion have never been made public.<br /><a href="https://www.repository.unipr.it/bitstream/1889/2341/1/uberti_orbite.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more</a>.
