Installation by Fritz Laszlo Weber

"Pronvinzen im Zentrum" in the inner courtyard of the Stadtgalerie

We invited Fritz Laszlo Weber to fill the light boxes in the inner courtyard of the Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken. The installation can be discovered until 16 February 2025. Come and see it!

As a place of critical confidence, the Stadtgalerie is working hand in hand with various participants towards a desirable future. With Fritz Laszlo Weber, we ask the following question: What could a good life for all look like in a society characterised by climate crisis? The starting point for his research was Saarland and its industrial history.

Fritz Laszlo Weber works as an independant artist and project worker. In his work, he likes to wander between the paths of different disciplines. For example, he combines historical and material questions with playful shifts, methodical twists or interpretative manipulations. Fritz Laszlo Weber was nominated for the Robert Schuman Art Prize in 2021. As part of the Prize exhibition at the Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken, he created the work untitled (leerflächen), which can be seen on the POSTER +4. This marked the beginning of a discontinuous examination of questions about the changing history of Saarland’s political affiliations, a planetary present shaken by the climate crisis and futures beyond the European centres.
