The Ordinary? Leandro Erlich solo exhibition -21st century museum of contemporary art

Leandro Erich

I’ve been to 21st century museum of contemporary art, Kanazawa.

Now, they holds Leandro Erlich’s solo exhibition ” The Ordinary?”, he made this museum’s main artwork “swimming pool”.

Shooting photo was OK in this exhibition, so I add some of them.

I think theme of his artworks is ” To see ordinary things from strange angle of view”. He can make both of “comical ” and “quiet and beautiful” artworks, I think this is making his artwork something special and adding original flavor.

This one really fits rainy day mood.

But I’m sure I’ll visit here again !

And if you visit Japan, I really recommend you to visit Kanazawa, it’s such a beautiful traditional city.
