Uroš Weinberger: Displaced World

Uroš Weinberger (1975) is the receiver of the award at the biennial exhibition A View 6 following the theme Me, Here, Now. His work was recognised and selected by curators of nine regional galleries from Slovenia. After five biennial exhibitions, which were dedicated to the artists from Slovenian regions of Dolenjska, Bela Krajina and Posavje, this was the first one that encompasses and addresses the developments in visual arts on a national level.

Weinberger’s awarded work entitled Acid Rain is only one piece of a larger series of works in which he reflects the situation in his own environment with great intensity. The artist thus responds to various phenomena, from ecological threats to closeness of military aggressions. With the Displaced World exhibition, Weinberger continues to explore these themes and focuses on the common denominator which speaks of the fact that we are all – every one of us – from the moment we are born to this world, constantly led and controlled; and that whatever has been going on on the global scale is not a mere coincidence.
