Is it coexistence, interaction, or in fact a system of dominance and oppression? Weinberger encountered wayside houses in Greece, where—comparable to wayside crosses here in Austria—they are not only memorials to accident victims, but also places where items are left for passers-by. Painted red, the Wayside House that now stands at the bottom of the ramp is dedicated to the poppy. The artist has equipped it with poems printed on sheets that visitors can stamp with a motif—based on the feeding tunnels of bark beetles— and take home with them. This could be seen as an allusion to hiking passbooks in which stamps from mountain cabins document distances covered.Object arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/93222/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/132167/fullWilderness Construction2015[Lois Weinberger]Lois WeinbergerIndia ink, watercolor on paperDrawing arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/93049/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/133082/fullWild Cube2011[Lois Weinberger]Lois WeinbergerIron ruderal fencing, spontaneous vegetationPlants 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.Sculpturehttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/25247/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/132164/fullWilderness Draft: Garden?

Ruderalpflanzen, gemeinhin als Unkraut bezeichnet, dienen dem Künstler dabei als Ausgangs- und Orientierungspunkte für seine Arbeit. Das Projekt, aus dem sich das Gartenarchiv entwickelt hat, entstand in Weinbergers eigenem Garten, dem sogenannten „Gebiet“. An den Peripherien von Großstädten sammelte der Künstler Pflanzen und deren Samen. Diese pflanzte er im „Gebiet“ an, um das Vermehrte später wiederum in anderen möglichen Lebensräumen auszusäen. Aus mehreren Tausend Bildern, die in den elf Jahren der Arbeit am Projekt entstanden sind, wählte Weinberger Ansichten und Pflanzenporträts. 624 Diapositive geben in dem Leuchtkasten Einblick in eine wilde, idealisierte Naturlandschaft, die Werden und Gehen, Verschwinden und Überleben, Ausgrenzung und Akzeptanz thematisiert. — [5/2016, Michaela Köppl]Object arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/10396/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/27662/fullBerlin-Marzahn1994[Lois Weinberger]Lois WeinbergerColor photographPhotographyhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/18658/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/141592/fullVon Marzahn zum Müggelsee1994[Lois Weinberger]Lois WeinbergerPencil and felt pen on paperDrawing arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/95210/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/141593/fullVon Marzahn zum Müggelsee1994[Lois Weinberger]Lois WeinbergerPencil on paperDrawing arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/96712/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/9464/fullDie Neige1986[Lois Weinberger]Lois WeinbergerLimestone, 6 piecesSculpturehttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9537/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/138391/fullIdea of a Garden1979/1997/2019[Lois Weinberger]Lois WeinbergerMetal basket, spine of a snake, wire, potato, chicken feathers, clothes hanger, maple leafObject arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/93020/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/131993/fullPaths1978[Lois Weinberger]Lois WeinbergerOffset printing ink, india ink on paperDrawing arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/93003/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/132011/fullPaths1978[Lois Weinberger]Lois WeinbergerBark beetle paths, offset printing ink on paper, wood, glassObject arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/93005/rdf
