The Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg dedicates a major solo exhibition to Leandro Erlich, for the first time in Germany.

Entitled Weightless, the show brings together, in a playful way, a wide range of works by the Argentinian artist. The spectacular installations, many of which were developed by the artist especially for the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, will amaze visitors with their convincing illusions, while at the same time inviting them on a stimulating journey to explore the exciting relationships between technology, space travel, ecology, and migration.

For many years, Leandro Erlich has succeeded in fascinating visitors with his art on very different levels. At first glance, many of his impressive works appear surprising, irritating, and humorous. But a closer look also reveals many profound references to today’s socio-cultural and therefore political manifestations and challenges, such as the whole complex surrounding fake news, the (populist) distortion of truth and lies, the global refugee movements, and not least of all the increasingly significant power of images and the possibilities of their manipulation against the backdrop of advancing digitalization and the development of artificial intelligence.
