At Culture Night, the Rehmann Museum brings together art and nature: The new exhibition “Mo Diener – Hologram” meets the newly opened, biodiverse sculpture garden, complete with a reading by Mara Meier!
Laufenburg Culture Night
Saturday, September 5, starting at 6 p.m.
For this year’s Culture Night, the Rehmann Museum is combining cutting-edge art technology with an ecological renaissance. While the new exhibition “Mo Diener – Hologram” digitally visualizes the history of the soil, the museum is celebrating the transformation of its outdoor space into a biodiverse natural garden. In keeping with the redesign of the sculpture garden, botanist and author Mara Meier will read from her book *The Comfort of Plants*, thereby bridging the gap between literature and the museum’s garden.
To mark Culture Night, the Rehmann Museum invites visitors to a program that blurs the boundaries between past and future, and between humans and nature.
The Exhibition: Mo Diener – Hologram
At the heart of the exhibition is the work of Swiss artist Mo Diener (*1961), who is presenting her first comprehensive solo exhibition. The exhibition brings together videos, installations, and photographs spanning four decades. A special highlight is the work *The Archaeologist*: Using spatially animated holograms, a figure takes shape before our eyes and tells a speculative story about the archaeological history beneath our feet.
Art Meets Biodiversity: The Sculpture Garden in Transition
At the same time, the museum is setting an example for sustainability in its outdoor space. Through the “Sculpture Garden as Habitat” project, the 1,300 m² grounds are becoming a showcase for biodiversity. In collaboration with Jurapark Aargau, targeted habitats are being created for endangered species such as the gray cinquefoil and fireflies. In dialogue with Erwin Rehmann’s sculptures, a dynamic ecosystem is emerging that appeals to nature and art enthusiasts alike.
Culture Night Program (Saturday, September 5, starting at 6:00 p.m.)
Reading with Mara Meier – *The Comfort of Plants*
At 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. (Duration: 20 minutes each)
On the occasion of Laufenburg’s Culture Night, this transformation in the sculpture garden will also be reflected in literature: botanist and author Mara Meier will read from her latest novel, *The Comfort of Plants*. The book tells the fascinating story of Barbara von Roll (1502–1571), a noblewoman from Solothurn in the late Middle Ages who, defying all the conventions of her time, became a widely renowned healer. Without a university education, she acquired an immense knowledge of medicinal plants over the course of several years, founded a private hospital for women in need, and was even consulted by renowned scholars.
Experience an atmospheric blend of nature, art, and literature in the newly redesigned garden of the Rehmann Museum.
