How can exhibitions stage encounters between art and science that not only make sense for visitors but encourage them to explore the intricate relationship between themselves and the world further? This book presents a collection of texts that explore exhibitions as a medium for new insights into connections between aesthetic and scientific knowledge production and how such insights facilitate new, more holistic understandings of entanglements between self and lifeworld. The texts all take their outset in a series of three exhibitions called Wunderkammer at Esbjerg Art Museum in Denmark from 2018 to 2022. The three main texts cover the conception, presentation, and reception of the exhibitions, respectively elaborating the curatorial process, the aesthetics of the exhibitions and the reception of the exhibitions by individual visitors. Also included is a written dialogue of a more associative nature between members of the research group of art historians who were invited to experience the exhibitions and contemplate and discuss the implications of the series of exhibitions.
