Curatorial context

Lois Weinberger's "Wayside House" is an artwork from 2020 that delves into the complex relationship between humans and nature, questioning coexistence, interaction, and dominance. Inspired by wayside houses found in Greece—structures that serve as memorials and places for leaving items for passers-by—Weinberger's red-painted creation is dedicated to the poppy. The artwork is equipped with printed sheets featuring poems, allowing visitors to engage by stamping them with a motif derived from bark beetle feeding tunnels, and taking them as a memento. This interactive element is reminiscent of hiking passbooks, where stamps document journeys undertaken. The work is crafted from painted metal, printed paper, and includes a stamp and ink pad, with dimensions of 157 x 42 x 43.5 cm.
