Urs Fischer's work The Intelligence of Flowers, 2003–2005, is included in the group exhibition Before · Between · Beyond. The Collection in Transition at the Aargauer Kunsthaus in Aarau, Switzerland. Fischer's playful wall cut-out installation is presented alongside works by fellow Swiss artists housed in the permenant collection of the Aargauer Kunsthaus. 

The display combines photography, sculpture, painting, video, printed graphics, and drawing with large-scale installations and location-specific works that were created especially for this event. The exhibition offers remarkable glimpses into the holdings of this extensive public collection of Swiss art and encourages lively encounters and new discoveries.
