Starting from  April 22nd to October 4th 2023 Palazzo Reale Milano will host for the first time in Europe a large-scale solo exhibition of one of the most prominent figures on the international art scene: Leandro Erlich.

Promoted by the Municipality of Milan-Culture, the exhibition is produced and organized by Palazzo Reale and Arthemisia in collaboration with Studio Erlich, and is curated by Francesco Stocchi.

An Argentine artist born in Buenos Aires in 1973, Erlich creates large installations with which the public relates and interacts, becoming the artwork itself.

His unique works represent something absolutely new in the art world, bringing together creativity, vision, emotion, and fun.

Buildings on which one appears to climb, houses uprooted and suspended in mid-air, lifts going nowhere, escalators tangled like threads in a ball of yarn, disorienting and surreal sculptures, and videos that subvert normality. These are all elements recounting something ordinary in an extraordinary context, in which everything is different from what it seems, and where we lose our sense of reality and perception of space.

Erlich’s works are the result of a profound and conceptual artistic exploration that flows into paradox and has already won over millions of visitors worldwide: 600,000 in Tokyo and 300,000 in Buenos Aires. Everywhere, the public has thronged to his exhibitions which are characterized by site-specific installations that are highly complex to make, and therefore quite rare.

The exhibition is sponsored by Generali Valore Cultura with the support of VeraLab and Mercato Centrale Milano, 
Urban Vision and Outpump are media partners ; Frecciarossa Treno Ufficiale is mobility partner.

The catalogue is edited by Toluca Studio with the support of Galleria Continua.
