The project explores the exhibition space as place and part of collective creation of knowledge. It focuses on the aesthetic experience as an epistemic practice, present both in the production of art and in its reception, during which the researching process of art continues. A screenplay constellation is used as a research method to perform the object of research (the exhibition space) as well as the research itself. Thus, production, execution, and presentation of the research process and of its results are intertwined.
