In the autumn of 2025, Amox Rex will feature the large-scale, participatory installations of artist Leandro Erlich (b. in 1973 in Buenos Aires, Argentina). These installations blur our perceptions of reality. In the playful world of the artist, the laws of physics do not apply and familiar spaces and situations soon feel unreal. Playing with architecture, gravity and perspective, the works are bursting with visual and sensory illusions. Viewers who have entered this world can no longer trust what they see.
Leandro Erlich divides his time between Paris, Buenos Aires and Montevideo. He has enjoyed a successful international career since the 1990’s. His work has been featured in many leading art museums and exhibitions the world over, such as the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the Barbican Centre in London, the MoMa in New York and the Museo de Arte Moderno in Buenos Aires. Erlich’s breakthrough took place at the Venice Biennale in 2001 with one of his most iconic installations, Swimming Pool.
This is the first time Erlich’s production has been on display in Finland. The curator is Anastasia Isakova.
