On July 12, a performance by Vanessa Beecroft (VB62) marks the inauguration of Goca, the new Gallery of Contemporary Art in Palermo. The event is being held at the church of Santa Maria dello Spasimo, where the Italian-born artist will “direct” a group of 27 women covered in a layer of white make-up mixed with 13 plaster sculptures. From July 17 (until the end of August) the sculptures will be on show at the Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna di Palermo. Elena Sommariva
