Intalnirile post-specimen in arta, stiinta si curatare examineaza modurile in care obiectele stiintifice detinute in cadrul muzeelor si altor colectii actioneaza ca inspiratie pentru practicile de arta contemporana, strategiile de curatare si istoriile lor. Cu contributii interdisciplinare de la istorici de arta, artisti, poeti, antropologi, critici si curatori, acest volum analizeaza modul in care intalnirile artistice din muzee, de la muzeele de anatomie la cabinetele curioase contemporane, pot provoca noi moduri de gandire.
