Opening Thursday November 9, from 6 to 9 pm
On the occasion of the Nuit des Bains and Geneva Art Week

Xippas Gallery is pleased to present, for the first time in Geneva, an exhibition by the Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich. For this exhibition, which will be presented in our two spaces at Rue des Sablons 6 and Rue du Vieux-Billard 7, the artist and the gallery have invited the exhibition curator Fabrice Bousteau.

Entering the world of Leandro Erlich is entering a mirage, a world of optical illusions, mirrors, hidden depths, and deceits. As a conceptual artist, his work explores the perceptual foundations of reality and our ability to question these same foundations through a visual framework.

Clouds in cages, uprooted houses, melting houses in a cabbage, an elevator with no destination, stretched stairs, intertwined traffic lights, obstructed windows… the artist plays with our everyday life to divert it, distort it, and thus create a new world. The architecture of the everyday is a recurring theme in Erlich’s art. Master scenographer, he creates a dialogue between what we believe and what we see.
