Contemporary artists cannot stop opening art galleries. To wit, Maurizio Cattelan is venturing into the art-dealing business again, according to Artnet's Rachel Corbett, and Sam Pulitzer and Matthew Malouf are launching a gallery in a garbage can on the fifth floor of 179 Canal, Art in America's Brian Boucher reports.

Let's begin with Mr. Cattelan--who, to be fair, is now a retired artist. His gallery is called Family Business, and it sees him partnering again with New Museum curator Massimiliano Gioni, with whom he ran Chelsea's Wrong Gallery--which was nothing more than a glass door--a few years back. (Wrong partner Ali Subotnick is not included in this venture.) Update: the gallery will operate as a nonprofit, and no work will be for sale.

Family Business, which is located in a 125-square-foot section of Anna Kustera's West 22nd Street gallery, is set for a February opening, and Artnet reports that artist Marilyn Minter has been lined up to curate the first show.

Meanwhile, Messrs. Pulitzer and Malouf are planning to christen their garbage-can space--William Gallery, located at 179 Canal Street--on Jan. 28, with a show of flyers and ephemera by the late, great Jack Smith that is being curated by Olivia Shao and Jay Sanders, the lapsed art dealer who is co-curating the 2012 Whitney Biennial.

Here's an excerpt of William Gallery's very elegant curatorial statement: "...the program is generated through a constant dialog between social networking, personal recommendation, inter-generational collaborations and garbage." Sounds great.

Curiously, the William proprietors appear to have cribbed a bit of that statement--a section about "a glut of delirious information"--from the press release for Zak Kitnick's superb recent show at Clifton Benevento. Is there a Drake-Common-style feud brewing?
