Description: Overlap' wishes to explore the field between art and science. Artists and scientists share an unbridled curiosity to understand, explain and even change the world around us. the Young Academy searched for connections, synergies, and conflicts between contemporary artistic and scientific practices. The exploration of this borderland -- the overlap -- between science and art resulted in a 'paper exhibition' with 52 artistic contributions and 12 essays, matching the rhythm of a calendar year. Each contribution offers a unique perspective in a dialogue that does not result in an unambiguous picture. This in-between area is a challenging no man's land where different rules and vocabularies coexist. This friction can be inspiring and allow for the unexpected. Can this be the key to gain access to that which lies beyond the borders of our current knowledge?
