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.
Can Men Be (Good) Artists? | Art & Literature edition | Reading Cusk's Parade
Writer Rachel Cusk asked: "Can a Woman who is an Artist Ever Just Be an Artist?" (NYT). Our host, contemporary art writer and curator Joana P. R. Neves, turns this question of gender and skill on its head: can men be (good) artists? Cusk's book "Parade" (2024) is this Art & Literature special episode's book of choice. Joana embarks on an art and feminism quest: is gender a prison? Or is it the forceful power of the patriarchy? She is helped by living and fictional contemporary artists and writers, intersectional feminism, and philoso...
Benjamin Did NOT mourn the loss of the "Aura".
What if we failed to see what Benjamin alerts us to in his seminal art book "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction"? What if mass reproduction of images brought an art liberation? What if preserving the here and now of the aesthetic experience was a form of gatekeeping? And how can we read the concept of aura today?

Is Art Critique Dead? And if So, What's Next? A Curator's Honest Reckoning
Art criticism is vanishing from mainstream media, but here's the uncomfortable question: does art and culture still need critics? Our host, Joana P. R. Neves, art curator and writer, examines why critics are leaving big outlets without being replaced—and what this means for artistic quality assessment, curatorial etiquette, and the future of art evaluation itself. What is critique actually for? And where does Joana's feminist critique of critique lead to? And who decides what's good art now? Or, rather, is “good art” the yardstick by...
