The Artistry of Erwin Rehmann at Weltenguss
In 2018, the Rehmann Museum in Laufenburg, Switzerland, hosted Weltenguss, an exhibition showcasing Erwin Rehmann's dynamic sculptures.
What Made Rehmann’s Sculpture Exhibition Unique?
Rehmann didn’t just sculpt. He sketched. And those sketches? They buzzed with energy, like they might leap off the page. His sculptures grew from that energy—through casting, placement, and the way they played with their surroundings. A garden, a public square, a gallery. Each space changed the story. Each space changed the sculpture. It wasn’t just art sitting still. It was a conversation. Art, space, viewer—chatting away.
Rehmann’s work wasn’t just something to look at. It pulled you in. Made you feel something. Made the space around it feel alive, transformed. The exhibition? It was a dance between material, space, and experience.
The Role of Typographic Design
The typography I crafted was like a dance. I wanted it to move, to hum along with the sculptures. Not too loud, not too shy—just enough to echo their rhythm without stealing their spotlight. Weltenguss wasn’t just an exhibition. (I mean, sure, technically, it was). It was more like a dialogue. Between Rehmann’s works, the audience, and the space itself. Walking into Weltenguss felt like stepping into a little universe. Everything—every curve, every shadow—had its role in this delicate balance of form and perception.
If you ever find yourself in Lauenburg, Switzerland, don’t miss the chance to visit the Rehmann Museum. This isn’t your typical museum—it’s an immersive experience. Housed in the former workshop, studio, and foundry of sculptor Erwin Rehmann (1921–2020), the space itself is a work of art. Every corner invites you to interact and reflect, from thought-provoking sculptures to even concerts. Step inside. Who knows—you might leave with a little more wonder than you came with.
