Lois Weinberger, Works

What is beyond the plants / is at one with them
railway track, planting with indegenous plants and neophytes, length 100m
documenta X, Kassel 1997

Lois Weinberger made use of the open-air area of the Kulturbahnhof Kassel by sowing neophytes among indigenous plants. This type of vegetation grows rapidly, spreads across large sweeps of land, and crowds out native species. "The way a society deals with its plants tells us a lot about itself", says Weinberger. The struggle instigated by the artist is a metaphor of migration problems facing us today.

GARTEN
New Museum of Lower Austria
government sector, St. Pölten, 1994 / 2002

The space intended as the garden is densely filled with colourful plastic containers. These are filled with soil / according to the pannonic space / the planting is left to the wind / the birds / the seeds already existing in the earth. "With time" - seen as an integral aspect of time - the containers will dissolve, becoming visible only as colourful splitters on the solid - overgrown - flat surface. The shallow layer of soil on concrete regulates the height, and to some extent the type of vegetation itself - a work / which does not allow an idyllic place to come into being and which is constantly changing.

Lois Weinberger is working on a network, devoting his attention to peripheral areas and questioning all sorts of hierarchies. He sees himself as a field worker and started in the early 1970´s with ethno-poetical works, which are the basis for an artistic debate - developed over some decades - concerning standard social behaviour in both natural space and that of civilization. Ruderal plants involved in all areas of life, are initial and orientation point for notes, drawings, photographs, objects, texts, films as well as big projects in public space
