Everlasting Gobstopper is a group show that will be opening this evening at Michael Benevento Gallery in Los Angeles. The exhibition brings together seven artists working in video, painting, photography, sculpture, and installation that are conceptually united by mutual investments in vernaculars of trauma, psychology, appropriation, gender and sexuality. The exhibition features Spartacus Chetwynd, Hélio Oiticica, Lil Picard, Pipilotti Rist, Eva Rothschild, Cindy Sherman, and Michael E. Smith.

Me and My Mother is a flipbook realized by Mousse Publishing in conjunction with the eponymous Ragnar Kjartansson exhibition at EX3 Contemporary Art Center in Florence. The book recreates two of the three videos in the project, dividing them into a sequence of images that gradually change from one page to the next, to highlight the three key elements in the work: the maternal figure, an apparently scornful action, and chronological spacing that underscores the inexorable flow of time.

The giant format of the work that Wade Guyton has realized for his exhibition at Museum Ludwing, Köln, led him back to his artistic origins as a sculptor. The artist’s wall (above), formed by a series of canvas printed in black, in an abstract way, takes up the movement of the visitors. It is then not so unlikely to speak of the extremely long, printed bolts of canvas as “printer sculptures”: they redefine the space in which they hang, but they also redefine their medium.

Today, at 7 pm, the post-industrial complex of Ex Marmi in Pietrasanta, Tuscany, will open its wide spaces to contemporary art with an exhibition by Thomas Gillespie. Curated by Marina Fokidis, the show will present a series of paintings and site-specific installations related by a reflection on the “Big Brother” society. The shown works represent London’s anonymous streets transformed by Gillespie’s peculiar painting style, which lays halfway between the representation of the form and its liquefaction.

The project Castello in Movimento was born with the aim of transforming the Castello Malaspina di Fosdinovo, a Tuscan Fourteenth century fortress, in a place of meeting and production for artists of various disciplines. This time the chosen artists are Emanuele Becheri and Riccado Benassi. The first, between June 19 and June 27, 2010, realized two works titled Impressione#8 (above) and Impressione#9, that will remain in the fortress of the castle alongside Flavio Favelli’s installation realized for the last edition. The exhibition also presents collective prearrangement, variable countdown, a temporary installation by Riccardo Benassi which occupies various areas of the castle with an elusive approach to the space.
