Post-Specimen: Object Encounters in Art, Science and Curating examines the ways in which scientific objects held within museums and other collections act as inspiration to contemporary art practices, curating strategies and their histories. Through its cross-disciplinary contributions, written by a team of art historians, artists, poets, anthropologists, critics and curators, this volume looks at how artistic encounters in museums, ranging from anatomy museums to contemporary cabinets of curiosity, can provoke new modes of thinking about art, science and curating. In particular, it draws upon the concept of the specimen - a paradigmatic object in science - as a way of critically investigating these hybrid art-science practices as well as a means of innovating the practice of art writing itself. Edward Juler and Alistair Robinson bring together a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives written by leading specialists in the visual arts that inspire new understandings of the relationships between art, science and curating.
