Bio
Often containing performance and proposal simultaneously, Seth Weiner’s practice explores the gaps between architectural fiction and social convention to produce both actual and imagined spatial environments. In individual work, the sound-based project Sadie Siegel, and Palais des Beaux Arts Wien, space is approached as a doubt, something built, erased, sensed, and governed. Process-based and collaborative, the work moves across scales, from the intimacy of a page or melodic gesture to the façade of a building and its surrounding context. Teaching extends this practice through collective and creative processes, approaching collaboration as a shared spatial, social, and aesthetic proposition. He likes to think his work is about the joy of finding and losing space.
Bio — medium (816 characters)
Often containing performance and proposal simultaneously, Seth Weiner’s work employs a wide range of media in which he explores the gaps between architectural fiction and social convention to create both actual and imagined spatial environments. Since the late 2000s, Weiner has developed the sound-based project Sadie Siegel, using the name of his great-grandmother to collaborate with himself and explore sound as an extension of touch and expression of space. From 2018 to 2025 he was Artistic Director of Palais des Beaux Arts Wien, a nonprofit museum-like entity that serves as a mobile place of remembrance and projection for what was lost during National Socialism, commissioning works engaging histories of loss, erasure, and reclamation to explore intersections of aesthetics, identity, and public space. He continues as the Palais’s Collection Custodian while exhibiting and teaching at institutions in Vienna and abroad.
Bio — long
Often containing performance and proposal simultaneously, Seth Weiner’s work employs a wide range of media in which he explores the gaps between architectural fiction and social convention to create both actual and imagined spatial environments. In 2008, Weiner began the music project of Sadie Siegel, using his great-grandmother’s name to collaborate with himself and explore sound as an extension of touch, expression of space, and a way to create impossible places.
Weiner has worked process-based and collaboratively with Untitled Collective (co-founded in Los Angeles, 2010–2012), Gruppe Uno Wien, and from 2012–2018 served as the Co-Artistic Director of Berlin-based Care Of Editions, a conceptual business model in the form of a record label. From 2018 to 2025, Weiner was the Artistic Director of Palais des Beaux Arts Wien, a nonprofit museum-like entity that serves as a mobile place of remembrance and projection for what was lost during National Socialism, and he continues as its Collection Custodian. As director, Weiner focused on commissioning artworks that deal with the history of Atelier Bachwitz, a publishing house that was once located at the Palais des Beaux Arts building in Vienna before it was ‘Aryanized’. Weiner’s work on the Palais functions as an ongoing act of reclamation and a way to explore the intersection of aesthetics, identity, and public space in contemporary Austria.
Weiner has taught at the Art Institute of Hollywood Los Angeles, UdK Berlin, the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the University of Art and Design Linz, and is currently an adjunct faculty member in the Strategic Communications and Center for Liberal Arts departments at Webster University Vienna as well as a visiting faculty member in the Culture, Politics, and Society program at Central European University (CEU).
He studied architecture at SCI-Arc in Los Angeles (2010), experimental sound at the Center for the Creation of Music Iannis Xenakis in Paris (2006), and drawing and painting at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (2005). In 2023, Weiner was a Walker Cultural Leader in Arts and Culture at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine & Performing Arts at Brock University in Canada and received the Teacher of the Year Award by the Student Government Association at Webster University Vienna. In 2020, Weiner received a Vienna State Scholarship for Fine Arts (Staatsstipendium Bildende Kunst), and in 2024 the Palais des Beaux Arts Wien received the Offspace Award from the city of Vienna. His work is represented in the paper collection of the Museum of Applied Arts Vienna (MAK), MUSA – Art Collection of the City of Vienna (with Palais des Beaux Arts Wien), Künstlerhaus Bregenz, and other private collections.
Bio — Deutsch (Übersetzung: Claus)
Seth Weiners künstlerische Praxis verbindet Performance und Entwurf und untersucht die Zwischenräume zwischen architektonischer Fiktion und sozialer Konvention, um sowohl reale als auch imaginierte räumliche Umgebungen hervorzubringen. In seinen Einzelarbeiten, dem klangbasierten Projekt Sadie Siegel und dem Palais des Beaux Arts Wien wird Raum als Zweifel verstanden, als etwas, das gebaut, gelöscht, wahrgenommen und gesteuert wird. Prozesshaft und kollaborativ angelegt, bewegen sich seine Arbeiten über unterschiedliche Größenordnungen hinweg – von der Intimität einer Buchseite oder einer melodischen Geste bis hin zur Fassade eines Gebäudes und seinem räumlichen Umfeld. Das Unterrichten erweitert diese Praxis durch kollektive und kreative Prozesse und begreift Zusammenarbeit als gemeinschaftliches räumliches, soziales und ästhetisches Unterfangen. Er denkt gern, dass es in seiner Arbeit um die Freude am Finden und Verlieren von Raum geht.

Exhibitions
Recurring terms in this list. Spatial concept — the spatial and display conditions of an exhibition, made as artistic work rather than service; the credit Weiner has used throughout. Collective solo — a solo show of a group project, built differently from a group show and treated more monochromatically as a single space. Synthesized — a work assembled rather than sited, a term shared with the sound practice. Paper architecture — proposal and architectural fiction as a conceptual, speculative and performative medium. Artistic direction — Palais des Beaux Arts Wien, a role involving as much art as direction.
