  • Plants that reclaim urban spaces—areas that have been greatly altered by human activities— are referred to as wild plants or, to use the technical term, “ruderal species.” They are mostly able to do so when land has been abandoned or is no longer used. It is precisely this kind of vegetation that is now on display in the Sculpture Garden of the Belvedere 21: Inside a huge iron cage various plants (including elm, birch, white poplar, and Norway maple) are growing rankly and uncontrolledly, their branches reaching out between the iron bars. They are part of a work by the artist Lois Weinberger, who conceived his "Wild Cube", as the installation is called, as a critical counterpart to the “white cube” of the typical museum setting.
