Exploring the meaning of ornaments through various practices and perspectives, from architecture to the visual arts, after Pietro Consagra. Ornamenti (February–March 2024) and Andrea Branzi. Civilisations without jewels have never existed (December 2024 – January 2025), 10 Corso Como Gallery completes its trilogy of exhibitions dedicated to jewellery as a contemporary medium with a retrospective of the work of Swiss artist Bernhard Schobinger. The exhibition Bernhard Schobinger. Democracy of materials, staged in collaboration with galleria Martina Simeti, brings together sculptures and jewellery works from the second half of the 1970s up to the present day. The exhibition is split into thematic islands, associations and contrasts of curved and broken lines, following an idea of dynamic ‘’that evokes the travels of writer W. G. Sebald in his book The Rings of Saturn, which had a profound influence on the artist’ poetics. The transformation of material – in its intrinsic power as raw material – from waste and remnants found as relics of a past era to crystals and precious stones, becomes the subject of meditation and manual concentration. The result is works that go beyond conventional exhibition means and become wearable. Schobinger’ production challenges our perspective, like a paradox or an enigma of koans, the phrases or stories that Zen Buddhist masters impart to their disciples. The exhibition recounts a search for absolute freedom both in terms of classic goldsmithing materials and the idea of formal coherence between construction and function: principles inherited from Swiss Concrete Art design and graphics, with its roots in modernism, which Schobinger transcends thanks to the punk influences of the second half of the 1970s. The result is a process of democratisation of material that turns jewellery into the expression of a political idea and blurs the boundary with works of art. His is a poetics of deconstruction in which the tension that animates material is manifested through the use of fragments, twists and cuts: precious and radical works, fuelled by the intensity of a process that goes ‘ the grain’.

10 Corso Como presents Da un’altra parte (“Elsewhere”), a solo exhibition by Guido Guidi, curated by Alessandro Rabottini and staged at 10 Corso Como Gallery from 7 May through 27 July 2025. Conceived as a wide-ranging showcase for his photographic work, the exhibition concentrates on the theme of the shadow, interpreted as the result of the encounter between light, space, and time – i.e., between three of the main coordinates of Guidi’s practice.   Guido Guidi (Cesena, 1941) is an internationally acclaimed photographer, renowned for the contribution he has made to the field of photography since the 1960s and celebrated for his personal way of looking at the landscape, architecture, and things, which is at once lyrical and analytical. His images are a distilled reflection on the most quotidian, marginal, and anti-monumental spaces that we inhabit, a tactile exploration of the forms that surround us and which we often neglect, rendered as if frozen in time. Over the decades, Guidi has affirmed the necessity for a “poetics of attention.” In his works, the very act of seeing is never taken for granted; on the contrary, it is analyzed from numerous perspectives, encompassing everything from its existential aspects right through to its formal and theoretical repercussions. Thanks to the consistency with which he has always scrutinized the most liminal aspects of reality, Guidi has also influenced generations of photographers, creating a visual idiom that is as subtle as it has been seminal.   Curated by Alessandro Rabottini, Da un’altra parte compiles a wide selection of photographs taken between the early 1970s and 2023, in an exhibition that focuses on the persistence and recurrence of certain themes across the decades. Although Guidi conceives, publishes, and shows his work through the format of the photographic series. The works are placed in dialogue with each other, according to a principle of poetic and formal tension, over and above the chronological sequence and any separation between the genres of portraiture, still life, and architectural photography.   Guido GuidiDa un’altra parteCurated by Alessandro Rabottini10 Corso Como Gallery7.5 - 10.9.25Every day: 10.30am – 7.30pmFree entrance

From April 17 to 30 2025, MORPHINE.ONLINE and 10 CORSO COMO present INVENTARIO, an installation of over 500 fragments—lookbooks, catalogues, and ephemera from 1992 to 2002—that take on new life and meaning in the Gallery of 10 CORSO COMO. The project also features a temporary shop in the Mezzanine space, offering a selection of rare and vintage pieces from the same period.  Curated by MORPHINE.ONLINE in collaboration with Alessio de’Navasques, INVENTARIO transforms these ephemeral materials into an atlas of images, associations, and emotions, revealing the dynamic and transitory spirit of fashion. Through a layered fresco, figures and moments that have defined our cultural identity are brought to light. MORPHINE.ONLINE was created as a cultural platform dedicated to reactivation and preservation, and this project celebrates the acquisition and digitisation of more than 1,000 documents, ephemera, and editorial materials—including, thanks to a collaboration with Werksammlung, the integration of Pietro Bosetti’s private collection.

10 Corso Como announces The Waves, an exhibition project that highlights the stories of five of the most radical and talented brands and young designers on the international scene. A single, fluid installation hosted in 10 Corso Como Gallery from 2 to 30 March.   Renewing its vocation for research into fashion and new imagery, 10 Corso Como has selected ALL-IN, Duran Lantink, Hodakova, Vaquera, zomer as the most innovative voices on the international creative scene.   Taking its title from Virginia Woolf’s most mysterious novel, The Waves evokes the perpetual motion par excellence - that of the waves - as a metaphor for pure time, a circular present. The route, in linear mode, exalts the most significant creations of each brand - including a number of custom-made pieces - evoking the novel’s monologue structure: different languages and sensibilities, united by a new idea of tailoring, with rich, experimental, expressionist forms, inspired by the confrontation with themes such as sustainability, reuse, relationship with nature, gender identity, materiality. Practices such as reuse and upcycling, seem to be a part of a contemporary lexicon, become quotations, in a post-production aesthetic that rediscovers the forms of high craftsmanship, reconnecting past and future, in a dense and vibrant present.   The Waves Featuring ALL-IN, Duran Lantink, Hodakova, Vaquera, zomer Curated by Alessio de’ Navasques 10 Corso Como Gallery 2.3 - 30.3.2025 Every day: 10.30am – 7.30pm Free entrance

On the occasion of Milan’s Women Fashion Week, the programme dedicated to visual arts restarts with the exhibition of the American artist Talia Chetrit. From 18 September, the Gallery opens to the public with the most comprehensive exhibition to date showcasing the work of Chetrit.   The show for 10 Corso Como, curated by Alessandro Rabottini and Anna Castelli, brings together works from 1994 to 2023, creating a dialogue between images that encapsulate different moments in both her artistic career and her private life. Self-portraits, family scenes, still lifes, street photography; no subject is excluded from Chetrit’s critical investigation into the current validity of the various genres of photography. These images instill a candid feeling of fragility and a confrontational sense of breaking taboos , with a specific focus on the themes of sexuality, relationships and female self-representation.   Through her straightforward yet nuanced use of the camera, Chetrit produces images that are at once elaborately conceived, lyrical, and provocative. Fusing emotional intensity with a specific approach to composition, her pictures can be understood as an exercise in what it means to look and what it feels like to pose; an exploration of the formal implications of the act of framing and the psychological dynamics of becoming the subject of an image.   After the solo show dedicated to Roe Ethridge last February, this exhibition continues a reflection on how the languages of art and photography, in dialogue with fashion, allow us to observe the contradictions of our times, questioning what beauty, the seductions of commerce and the rules of representation are.
