Wild Cube

Works belonging to the series named "Wild Cube" are presented in the interstitial spaces of the Frac.

Far too wise to be called wild, these massive metal "wild cubes" with well-ordered bars recall minimalist sculptures at the exhibit site.

What is it all about?

A single cube is deformed, destroyed by something that seems to exceed it; by a force capable of bending concrete bars, a kind of giant that is hard to imagine. A force that would not come from external pressure but from inside that same cage.

Lois Weinberger's sculptures and drawings could almost be models and sketches for the monumental work located on the outside, commissioned and installed by Frac Franche-Comté, on the embankment near the building. A space that was empty before Lois Weinberger installed her structure... or that would have been qualified as merely insignificant. Yet now an extraordinarily rich and extremely dense life tingles there. And will develop if given time to express itself and to flourish.

The artist joins the botanist allowing all to see the vegetable life of our cities, not that of parks or gardens, but that which is found at every street corner, along the walls and at the bottom of building.
