About Leandro Erlich: Liminal
Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) presents the first monographic survey exhibition of Leandro Erlich’s work in North America. Selected and arranged by New York-based guest curator Dan Cameron, the exhibition presents 16 works that span more than two decades of Erlich’s production. Arranged throughout PAMM’s special exhibition galleries, the exhibition is designed to suggest an underlying narrative story line, leading viewers through a series of encounters that act cumulatively to introduce doubt about their own sensorial input about the spaces around them.
Since the late 1990s, Erlich (b. 1973, Buenos Aires, lives in Buenos Aires) have created a highly distinctive body of sculptures and site-specific installations in which the architectural appearance of the everyday functions as a perceptual trap, leading an unsuspecting viewer into a visual paradox that systematically defies certain laws and attributes of the material world. Erlich’s work suggests that despite our collective pride at being able to instinctually locate ourselves within the physical world, the truth is that most of us are engaged in an extended game of probability and chance, in which situations that can only be real within our dreams cast a spell of enchantment over our waking lives. The accumulated impact of experiencing multiple Erlich works within a single exhibition tends to leave viewers with an intensified awareness of this inherent duality about daily life.
