Exhibitionistas - Notes on Contemporary Art & Life
Your Art Wonderment Podcast – Created and hosted by contemporary art curator and writer Joana P. R. Neves
Your art wonderment podcast.
With contemporary art curator and writer Joana P. R. Neves.
Exhibitionistas was born to expand the experience of art into wider spaces of conversation. It's the meta-cigarette after the art-sex. Prompted by a question, each episode follows a surprising path onto a topic, an exhibition, a book, or an artist studio, through the scope of contemporary art. Mid-journey, "Art Etiquette" offers a short break where a new guest surprises Joana with their own question about art. Between a Socratic dialogue and a boozy chinwag. And finally, to finish the episode with aplomb, comes "Brainstorm in a Teacup" where Joana reads notes from the week's writings, which she has described as "too interesting to miss out on, but too weird to build an episode on".
Joana P. R. Neves is an art writer and curator, co-founder and director of the art & residency space Worlding, and artistic director of Drawing Now Paris.

Caspar David Friedrich's–Inner–Landscapes
#romanticism #artmovement #artandnature #humannature Two Romantic paintings by the artist Caspar David Friedrich, one of the protagonists of the romantic German art period are uncovered by Exhibitionistas' host, contemporary art curator and writer Joana P. R. Neves. From reproductions on a book, to discovering how Frierich never sett foot in one of the landscapes he depicted, this is also an exploration of what reproductions and real experiences of art can tell each other. Both are valid, and some second-hand experiences can even cre...
