Sophie Ko's "Testimoni" at BUILDING GALLERY Milan: Sixty Works Across Three Floors
Sophie Ko's solo exhibition, "Testimoni," is on display at BUILDING GALLERY in Milan from 14 October to 23 December 2026. Curated by Federico Ferrari, the show features sixty pieces, many of which have never been exhibited before, across three floors at via Monte di Pietà 23. Ko, a Tbilisi native born in 1981 and now residing in Milan, has spent fifteen years working with various mediums including drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation, utilizing materials such as pure pigments, gold leaf, tree bark, and bronze. The ground floor showcases "Il Grembo" (2026), the first floor presents "Testimoni" (2026), and the second floor exhibits "Morte del Sole, della Luna e caduta delle stelle" (2026). A catalogue featuring contributions from Ferrari, Sergio Risaliti, and Daniela Ferrari is available. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday, from 10am to 7pm.
