Corso Aperto was a group show that presented the work of the young artists who participated in CSAV - Artists' Research Laboratory to the public. Artists could choose either to bring a piece of work to Como or to produce it on site. The most peculiar trait of the show was the way in which the artists managed to deal with the limitations given by the time frame and the setting.

The participant artists were: Johann Arens (Germany), Ode de Kort (Belgium), Maya Dikstein (Brazil), Shadi Harouni (US), Neven Lochhead (Canada), Alex McNamee (UK), Johan Österholm (Sweden), Oscar Santillan (Ecuador), Manuel Scano (Italy), Gonçalo Sena (Portugal), Linn Skaghammar (Sweden), Diego Thielemans (Belgium), Massimo Vaschetto (Italy), Venturi & Vaslijevic (Italy/Serbia).
