The shade can see by Enzo Cucchi

"L'ombra vede - The shade can see" by Enzo Cucchi.
From 17 December 2024 to 18 May 2025.
Museo Tattile Statale Omero.
Guided tours on booking for adults: Saturday, 1st and 22nd February, 1st and 8th March, 12th April at 16:30; for families: Sunday, 9th and 16th February, 16th and 30th March, 13th April at 16:30.

To truly understand a work of art, Enzo Cucchi explains, "you need to see it only in the dark; because things are preserved in the shadow and the dark." To observe the world, he adds, "you should place your head on the ground, like pumpkins, and your hands on things."

A scenographic journey for a sensory experience

Starting 17 December 2024, the Museo Omero will host not just an exhibition, but an intimate and sensory experience designed in collaboration with the artist.

A multisensory and scenographic journey conceived for an engaging aesthetic experience.
The exhibition features 42 works by the renowned artist from the Marche region: 4 unpublished drawings and 38 sculptures crafted from various materials, including bronze, marble, ceramic, and wood. These works are arranged in an evocative setting, with scenography inspired by the artist's poetic vision.

A special cave will house three sculptures to be discovered in complete darkness, solely through touch. A countryside farmyard becomes a place of social interaction, reflection, and knowledge. The artist's atelier will transport visitors into the creative space where Enzo Cucchi's imagination comes to life. Finally, a dedicated area will allow visitors to unleash their own creativity.

Accessibility

All sculptures can be explored through touch, and the artist's drawings have been rendered in relief by the Omero Museum. The staff will always welcome visitors to ensure an introduction to the experience and its optimal enjoyment.

Thanks to the invaluable collaboration of our partners, the information is available in multiple formats. Rai Pubblica Utilità has produced two accessible videos to introduce the experience: one with Italian text and a translation into Italian Sign Language, and another with English text and a translation into International Signs.

The same information is also available in Augmentative and Alternative Communication – in two versions: one detailed and one simplified, created by expert Valeria Petricca. The experience is accessible to people with mobility impairments: the space is reachable via lift, and the exhibition tables are suitable for exploration.
