New Sun Rising for Gallery Closed
Gallery Closed, fiscally sponsored by New Sun Rising, is a public-facing experimental exhibition space run by artists Phillip Andrew Lewis and Lenka Clayton. It is a narrow white cube gallery, with a sign, didactic text, bespoke website, social media following, and two street-facing windows. All exhibited work is designed to only be viewed through these two windows, the door always remains closed. Paradoxically this closed space creates an extremely accessible art venue. At night the gallery is brightly lit, so that Gallery Closed is always “open”, with artwork visible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is designed for any and all audiences and specifically embraces its accidental audience of neighborhood passers-by.
