“SEEING IS NOT BELIEVING”, LEANDRO ERLICH EXHIBITS IN HOUSTON
From June 26 to September 5, Leandro Erlich presents “Seeing is Not Believing” at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, an exhibition that challenges our perception of reality and distorts everyday situations under incredibly real visual effects.
Conceptual artist Leandro Erlich creates visual paradoxes and optical illusions that force you to question your perception of reality. He renders everyday situations confounding—a staircase that misleads to nowhere, or an elevator that appears partially stuck below ground.
Seeing Is Not Believing features two of Erlich’s most iconic installations: Bâtiment (Façade) and Le cabinet du psy (The Psychoanalyst’s Office). These immersive, room-size environments and a selection of additional works span the career of the acclaimed Argentinian artist, whose psychological subversion of the everyday seems to defy the basic laws of physics while challenging your sense of balance, space, and the absolute.
Born in 1973, Erlich lives and works in Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Montevideo, Uruguay. He was an artist-in-residence in the Glassell School of Art’s Core Program at the MFAH from 1997 to 1999. Seeing Is Not Believing serves as both a homecoming for him and a revelation for MFAH visitors.

LEANDRO ERLICH Inaugurates "Two Different Tomorrows"
Sean Kelly Gallery is delighted to announce its forthcoming exhibition, Two Different Tomorrows, a major new sculptural installation by Leandro Erlich. The title of the exhibition grew from a conversation with the gallery in which the Argentine-born Erlich, while traveling in Asia, became confused about the “tomorrow” in his time zone and the “tomorrow” in the gallery’s time zone.

The removal of a section of the obelisk, as well as the fiction of transporting it and the choice of the new setting, not only formulates the artist’s political and conceptual agenda but also activates the senses.
