This May - amid the season of major international exhibitions in Italy - the 10 Corso Como Gallery presents a special tribute to Arte Povera master Jannis Kounellis, unveiling a powerful site-specific project in collaboration with Galleria Fumagalli. Within the newly reimagined spaces of 10 Corso Como—once industrial interiors—the powerful and rigorous language of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century takes form. It is an invitation to reflection and silence: the white space of the gallery is transformed into an essential theatre in which the visitor becomes the protagonist.

The dramaturgy is built around a single large-scale installation, created by the Greek artist in 2009, consisting of seventy black coats arranged like stains and traces of the past—a powerful and silent device for introspection. In a present marked by profound political and social upheaval, in which migration, displacement, and the condition of human beings in transit have once again become central to global debate, the work stands as an invitation to pause and look beyond the surface.

Kounellis moved through unconventional artistic venues—churches, garages, ruins, former industrial spaces—bringing exhibition practice beyond museums and galleries toward a public and shared dimension. In the large white space of 10 Corso Como Gallery, the installation unfolds as a dense sequence of coats: objects that preserve both the material and immaterial traces of those who wore them, becoming signs of absence, presence, testimony, and memory. These are not simple garments, but traces of lived lives, bearers of individual and collective stories, symbols of protection, vulnerability, and movement. The coat thus becomes a direct reference to the human being, placed at the centre of the artist’s inquiry, within a grand one-act piece in which life itself takes the stage.

Within the context of 10 Corso Como—a place deeply connected to visual culture, fashion, and the intersection of artistic disciplines—the coat acquires layered meanings. The work invites viewers to suspend judgment and reflect on clothing as a testimony of time: an element rich with cultural references, linked to the literary tradition of Nikolai Gogol and Fyodor Dostoevsky, as well as to Italian neorealist cinema, an allegory of nomadism and diaspora, and a powerful bearer of social history. In this installation, it becomes stain, cast, body, and shroud, embracing both a sacred and a social dimension.

From March 11 to April 7, in collaboration with MIA Photo Fair BNP Paribas (running from March 19 to 22, 2026, at Superstudiopiù in Milan) and as part of Circuito Off - MIA Photo Fair BNP Paribas, 10·Corso·Como Gallery presents The New American West: Photography in Conversation, an examination of how the American West has been constructed, mythologised, and reimagined through photography across nearly a century.

Co-curated by Alessio de’Navasques, Howard Greenberg, and Carrie Scott, the exhibition foregrounds photography as both document and projection. Contemporary works by Maryam Eisler and Alexei Riboud are placed in direct dialogue with photographs by Edward Weston, Paul Strand, Diane Arbus, Esther Bubley, Mary Ellen Mark, Robert Adams, Joel Meyerowitz, Lee Friedlander, Wright Morris, Minor White, Allen Ginsberg, Wim Wenders and many others. Together, they trace the West from the early 20th century to today—revealing not a single narrative, but a layered, evolving idea shaped by ambition, displacement, beauty, and contradiction.

With the exhibition Bernhard Schobinger. Democracy of materials, which traces the work of Swiss artist Bernhard Schobinger, the10 Corso Como Gallery continues its exploration of the meaning of ornament across practices and visions, from architecture to visual arts, as part of the new cultural program promoted by Tiziana Fausti. 

Curated by Alessio de’ Navasques, and realized in collaboration with the Martina Simeti gallery, the exhibition features sculptures and jewelry-works from the early 1980s to the present day. It is a showcase in which the work of a demiurge artist challenges our perspective with pieces that transcend traditional exhibition formats and can be worn, and jewellery that, unable to be worn, becomes sculpture.

A special thank to NICEWORKSHOP and FORMAT for the Aluminum Formwork Series platforms.

On the occasion of Milano Women’s Fashion Week, 10 Corso Como unveils the first-ever solo exhibition dedicated to Glen Luchford, British photographer and portraitist who, from the 1990s to the present day, has revolutionized and redefined the visual language and aesthetic standards of the fashion industry.

Curated by Alessio de’ Navasques,Glen Luchford. Atlas brings together over thirty years of work in a single continuous flow. Iconic editorials, fashion campaigns, portraits, personal memories, outtakes, and re-edits. An atlas, almost an autobiography through images: a sitespecific project, designed by the artist himself specifically for the 10 Corso Como Gallery, like a cinematic flow of spontaneous associations and intrinsic correspondences.

The exhibition marks a new chapter in 10 Corso Como cultural programme, in its exploration of contemporary art, its protagonists and iconography in the fields of photography, design, visual and applied arts.

Composed of large-format prints, layered works and collages, the exhibition gives visitors the feeling of browsing through a personal archive, transcending chronological and cataloguing conventions. The images are bare, simply stuck to the walls like frames in the montage of a movie. Cinematic inspiration and dynamic tension, which translates into actual or evoked movement, permeate the work of the artist. Fashion, skateboarding, and English post-punk shaped his youthful sensibilities. In the 1990s, when British photography embodied the creative avant-garde, Luchford reinvented the concept of beauty, dismantling stereotypes and introducing a new aesthetic, conveyed by independent magazines, as the ground for personal and identitydriven expression. A unique season, documented in the exhibition through intimate frames, encounters, and exchanges within a vibrant creative community.

The exhibition closes with a video installation — never-before-seen — featuring fashion films imbued with an irony that mocks convention.
