We have an interview episode! Gallerist Sarah Le Quang Sang showcases and promotes female and queer artists, fighting, one step at a time, to reduce the price gap between genders, the lack of LGBTQIA+ representation in archives, collections, art fairs and private collections, but also the linear conception of artistic careers.

Contemporary art is a feast for the senses. But have we reduced art to vision? And what does the hand do, now that we have machines and automated ways of making, editing and showing images? And what are images? You wouldn't leave the shop without paying for your latte, right? Buy us a latte ;-) This episode is the second audio/video essay of the season. It will take you on a trip to a sensory shift across times, blurring the boundaries between line, image, wall, surface, paper, and machines. Where the hand is, what it does and h...

Giuseppe Penone is a contemporary artist associated with the Arte Povera art movement . He reinvented sculpture , drawing , conceptual photography, art installation , through proto environmental art with the sensibility of a late late romantic . Curator and art critic Germano Celant created the term #artepovera in 1967 to highlight a tendency toward a use of reduced materia l or idea to its archetype . How does Penone fit into that notion? He seems to have had a singular place in the Italian and global Western art canon of the time,...

Contemporary drawing is one of art's best kept secrets: associated with sound, language and writing, it turns contemporary art into a meditative form of art-making engaging the spectator in a poetic and existential voyage. Led by Blank's discovery of sound within the daily practice of drawing, this episode is a sonic wandering and a philosophical exploration of the artist's work, engaging with recent technological changes. How can a minimal and poetic practice face such specific issues? What is the role of the artist facing a global...

A pioneer of experimental cinema, but also conceptual technology (yes, I made this one up), Anthony McCall has built a unique place in the recent history and present of contemporary art. From the UK to the US, from analogue to digital, McCall has created a body of work as playful as it is culturally relevant. For more information about the exhibition go here .

Emily is the co-host of this episode about art, transgression, female desire and the male gaze through photo montage, as cultural commentary and self-exploration. We re-visit the exhibition "Danger Came Smiling" at Hayward Gallery. A punk goddess whose image was used in the Buzzcocks’ EP Orgasm Addict (1977), Linder is an under-exposed contemporary artist. 99p glue, a scalpel, vintage magazines, and she “travel(s) in time”, to bring back cyber domestic goddesses and anachronistic deepfakes. Her work seems to be at its peak, and alwa...

Exhibitionistas is a conversational art podcast created by me, visual arts curator and writer, Joana P. R. Neves, as an invitation for everyone to engage with contemporary art. Some episodes are centred around solo exhibitions; others are guest interviews engaging with the real art world beyond sensationalist auction sales and obsolete art review styles; and, finally, I also produce special episodes about chosen art angles. As an art professional with a 20 year experience in the art world with galleries, museums, artist creative pro...
