Leandro Erlich

National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art MMCA, Seoul

With a mission to engage the public in a multifaceted discourse and promoting diversity in the arts, "Hanjin Shipping The Box Project" sponsors and supports the artists that have established unique artistic domains in the international art scene. Leandro Erlich was commissioned for the year 2014, presenting the latest work, Port of Reflections. It is the largest and perhaps the most ambitious site-specific installation work that he has ever created in his entire artistic career. Erlich subverts the mundane quotidian space into a fantastic world of surprises and paradoxes by juxtaposing reality and illusion, the real and the unreal, representation and ambiguousness, thereby constructing a unique vocabulary on his contemplation of the world. Seoul Box is the most spacious (approximately 23.4m x 23.4meters), the loftiest (approximately 16.6 meters), and serves the role of navigational center in which viewers can efficiently access the other exhibition spaces in the museum. Incorporating these spatial characteristics, Erlich has created an anonymous beautiful floating harbor where the ships moor and the lonesome street lamps guard the port in which the spectators will see the corporeal reflection of boats suspended in the air. This exhibition will also feature a film that documented the whole process-from conceiving the idea to modeling, fabricating, transporting, installing, and the artist interview.
