The exhibition "Schimelrych to Chrottehalde: Art and Nature in Laufenburg" is a cooperation between the Jurapark Aargau and the Rehmann-Museum Laufenburg. It takes place both in the museum and as a tour in the outdoor space and shows current and regional Swiss art in comparison to international trends. Art and landscape are in a reciprocal relationship with each other: in the Rehmann Museum, works are shown that deal with the relationship to nature, while on the tour through the town of Laufenburg and the nearby forest surroundings, works of art can be discovered that are specifically exposed to the natural conditions at the respective location and interact with them. The focus is on the idea of mutualistic art. Mutualism refers to an exchange in which both sides can benefit from each other, in this case in the field of ecology.
The tour includes ten works by Agnes Barmettler, Dora Freiermuth, Isabelle Krieg and Marianne Engel, Landra (Sara Rodrigues and Rodrigo B. Camacho), Ursula Rutishauser, Lorenz Olivier Schmid, Stefan Strumbel, Riikka Tauriainen, Jan van Oordt and Hannah Weinberger. The Rehmann Museum in the Schimelrych houses an additional twenty works by Charlatan, Fernando García-Dory, Patricia Johanson, Cameron Robbins, Gerda Steiner & Jörg Lenzlinger, Mili Weber and the other artists on the tour, among others.
In addition to the exhibition, Jurapark AG and the Rehmann Museum are issuing a publication. It offers interesting insights into the works on the tour and in the exhibition as well as the reciprocal relationship between art and nature. The book launch will take place at the opening of the exhibition on March 22, 2024.
