Leandro Erlich was born in Argentina in 1973. He lives and works between Paris, Buenos Aires and Montevideo. In the last two decades, his work has been exhibited internationally and is in the permanent collections of prestigious museums and private collectors, including: Museo de Arte Moderno, Buenos Aires; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Tate Modern, London; Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; 21st Century Museum of Art Kanazawa, Japan; MACRO, Rome; Jerusalem Museum and many other institutions as relevant to his career.
Erlich has created several striking public works, such as La Democracia del Símbolo at the Obelisco and MALBA Museum in Buenos Aires, Maison Fond for the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris, Bâtiment at Nuit Blanche Paris, Ball Game for the Summer Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, Port of Reflections exhibited at the MMCA in Seoul, and Palimpsest at the Echigo - Tsumari Art Triennial in Japan. Currently, his monumental work La Carte will be a permanent part of the city of Bordeaux, France.
During the past years, Leandro Erlich has participated in major exhibitions in places such as CAFAM in Beijing, the MALBA in Buenos Aires, CCBB in several cities in Brazil, PAMM in Miami, Centre Pompidou Metz in Paris, reaching several times the record of visitors.
As a conceptual artist, his work explores the perceptual bases of reality and our capacity to interrogate these same foundations through a visual framework. The architecture of the everyday is a recurring theme in Erlich’s art, aimed at creating a dialogue between what we believe and what we see, just as he seeks to close the distance between the museum or gallery space and daily experience.
