Leandro Erlich
Art Front Gallery will host a solo exhibition by Leandro Erlich. Leandro Erlich gained international acclaim after his debut at the 2000 Whitney Biennial, followed by exhibits in the 2001 and 2005 Venice Biennials. In 2004 he became widely known in Japan for his permanent installation Swimming Pool at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. Also, he has participated in project-based work at the 2006 Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale with the creation of Tsumari’s House, the 2010 Setouchi Triennale with “The Presence of Absence” installed in the setting of a local country house on the island of Megishima, and Echigo-Tsumari Satoyama Museum of Contemporary Art Kinare with his construction of “Tunnel” in 2012. He is actively involved with museum art as well, and contributed to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo’s 2013 exhibition Bunny Smash— Design to Touch the World.
This summer Erlich has received critical acclaim for his solo exhibition at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. The appeal of of his work, which has achieved a high standing among international artists, is that it transcends generations and offers a space facilitating play and familiarity for everyone. In contrast to previous corporal and spatial works, the focus of this exhibition is to demonstrate the charms of his creations in a compact, condensed, and personal style. To this end, the artist and the gallery have spent much time planning this show introducing new works that let viewers enjoy Erlich’s world from a different perspective than previous exhibitions.
