Elevators are, in Erlich's words, “a functional object, but one in which life seems to be suspended parenthetically. As viewers inhabit and observe the installations, they create their own stories, finding answers to Erlich's visual questions. Stripped of their function and context, these elevators highlight the narrative potential of the ordinary. Two Different Tomorrows, Erlich’s most ambitious exhibition to date, will include four new sculptures that center on the elevator. Ironically, this sense of shifting realities is among the artist's central preoccupations. The title of the exhibition grew from a conversation with the gallery in which the Argentine-born Erlich, while traveling in Asia, became confused about the “tomorrow” in his time zone and the “tomorrow” in the gallery’s time zone.
The opening will take place on Friday, September 9th, from 6pm until 8pm. Sean Kelly Gallery is delighted to announce its forthcoming exhibition, Two Different Tomorrows, a major new sculptural installation by Leandro Erlich.
