He will simplyclose this seminal Kyoto art gallery for the month during thislandmark exhibition .So much could be written about CLOSED during these globallydark times when everything appears to be closing, but giventhat the gallery will be closed it doesn't really make much senseto write about something nobody will see anyway, does it? No ,not really. This exhibition will close Super Window ProjecFMfrom November 19 - January 9, 2011.On the other hand, so much could be written about the inspirationbehind CLOSED, like the theories of French philosophy orGerman mathematics or Zen cooking. Indeed the artist has writtenextensively elsewhere on the subjects as they relate to this artwork, but given that the gallery will be closed it doesn't really makemuch sense to write about something nobody will see anyway,does it? No , not really. This exh ibition will close Super WindowProject """ from November 19 - January 9, 2011 .Likewise , so much could be written about Williams I Estate ofWilliams unprecedented visual and conceptual experiments(actually pseudo-experiments, ~ i v e n Williams I Estate OfWilliams adolescent habit of uSing hyperbole to Donald DuckTrump 'Science'); experimenls into the nature of nature, nurture,reality, space and perception (Note To Editor: I'm missing a fewtopics here so feel free to ad lib random bits of learned bserudition), all the while provoking viewers to enter the doors to SuperWindow Project & Gallery which will be CLOSED, but giventhat the gallery will be closed it doesn't really make much senseto write about something nobody will see, does it? No , notreally. This exhibition will close Super Window Project',. fromNovember 19 - January 9, 2011 .Finally , so much cou ld be said about the creation of th e void orinfinity through specific closure techniques (Williams has recenUy been quoted as saying "tricks are for kids") and displacements of reality, in-between spaces, developing structures andlayers of this and that wowie-zowie or , if you rather, abraca-dabra black magic by the Dark Lord himself, but, given that thegallery will be closed it doesn't really make much sense to writeabout something nobody will see, does it? No, not really. Thisexhibition will close Super Window Project fromNovember 19 - January 9, 201 1.The exhibilion catalogue will feature texts by curator BaronOsuna and art historian Julia Friedman as well as Williams' IEstate of Williams own incredible - in fact really fucking incredible - se lection of literary, philosophical, and hisle-theoreticaltexts that he was sleeping next to while making this exhibition.But, given that the gallery will be closed it doesn't really makemuch sense to write about something nobody will see, does it?Not really.Closed runs from November 19 - January 9, 2011 .LG Williams I Estate Of LG Williams lives and works inLos Ange les , Honolulu and Kyoto.For more information please contact:Super Window ProjecFM +81 (0)75204 4098gallery@superwindowproject .comwww.superwindowproject.com
