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.

Neves uncovers in the first part of this artist conversation episode. Did you enjoy the episode?

#anamendieta #curators #exhibitions #feminism Exhibition Discussions! Biography enlightens the work of an artist but, in rare occasions, it can obliterate it. A polemic curatorial choice in Ana Mendieta's exhibition at Tate Modern illustrates this puzzling question. This unexpected curatorial twist may lean into anti-feminism if we stay on the surface of the discourse. Dive into it with our host Joana P. R. Neves, a curator and an art writer. What decision did Valentina Umansky and Michael Wellen, the curators of the show make, and w...
#contemporaryart #artistinterviews #textileart #tejedoras #indigenousknowledge What if weaving released untold stories? And how does textile art with such narrative yet abstract powers fit into contemporary art and its traditionally European systems? Joana’s conversation with contemporary artist Paula do Prado takes unexpected turns and spreads across at least 3 different continents–if not more. What influence did the lost language of the Charrúa people and her Uruguayan past and lineage have on her work? Or, rather, is it even possi...
#readaloud #poetrydeliveryservice #Exhibitionistas #artandliterature #lifenotes I make a case for the existence of pockets of creativity in everyday life. The secret is asking the question, inspired by our last episode about Ana Mendieta: what can the body do by itself, or with very little assistance? (Besides sex ;-)). But mostly, I make a case for READING ALOUD. Is there anything more magical?
