Lois Weinberger (b. 1947 – d. 2020) lived and worked in Vienna and Gars am Kamp.
Garden (1994)

The evolving nature of artistic practices is vividly captured in the work of Lois Weinberger, who, in 1994, described a process of organic transformation: “On a concrete surface, plastic buckets filled with soil from the open ground are placed. Since seeds are already present in the soil, the work will develop on its own. Over time, the containers will only appear as brittle, colorless plastic fragments on the overgrown surface. These too will dissolve, and only the blossoms will still recall the initial colorfulness. Later, my work will no longer be perceived; the author has vanished.
Weinberger worked on a poetic-political network that draws our attention to marginal zones and questions hierarchies of various types. The artist, who saw himself as a field worker, embarked in the 1970s on ethno-poetic works that formed the basis for his ongoing artistic investigations of natural and man-made spaces.
