Leandro Erlich

The idea for 'swimming pool' came about in the late 90s, in a place over eight thousand kilometres from Museum Voorlinden, in Houston ,Texas. There, Erlich was following a residency programme at the Glassell School of Art. He executed his 'swimming pool' for the first time in 1999. Erlich, like a magician, made a swimming pool appear within the Glassell building's glass block walls.
