Leandro Erlich was recently commissioned to create The Building which is a replica artwork and is found in the Liberty Science Center. The new installation invites visitors to cling from the windows and balconies of what appears to be a brick structure. The Building is a new extension of the artist's famous Bâtiment participatory series, which is modeled after notable architecture from Paris, Buenos Aires, Donetsk, Paris, London, and the Echigo-Tsumari region of Japan.
Each global installation is inspired by design codes of its influence, which is why the latest NYC-themed installation has a brick store storefront, fire escapes, a deli, steel balconies throughout, and an air-conditioning unit. The optical illusion starts at the floor with a mirror positioned perpendicular to the art.
