LEANDRO ERLICH
GrandPalais – Galeries 9.2, 10.1 et 10.2
From June 2 to September 6, 2026
Curator, Fabrice Bousteau
Opening this week is the retrospective of an old friend and collaborator, Leandro Erlich. Following earlier surveys in Buenos Aires, Tokyo, Miami, Milan and Helsinki, the Grand Palais is presenting 18 fully realized installations spanning 30 years. The works have always relied on the engagement of the audience, they must be physically experienced and activated by one’s active participation. In a rapid succession, I presented and participated in the realization of El Living (1997-99), Rain (1999-2000), The Swimming Pool (1998-2001) for 49th Venice Biennal (Argentina) and finally Turismo (2000) for the Decimo Bienal de La Habana. Each project was unique and exceptional. Also included in the exhibition is a documentation room referencing another 45 projects realized over his imaginative career.
