Introduction

Wolfgang Weileder is an artist whose practice and research is primarily concerned with the exploration and critical deconstruction of architecture, public spaces and the interactions we have with the ubiquitous urban environment. Next to his large-scale temporary site-specific architectural installation and sculpture his work also branches into performance, film, photography and sound installation.
