Exhibitionistas – Notes on Art
Your Art Wonderment Podcast – Created and hosted by contemporary art curator and writer Joana P. R. Neves
Exhibitionistas is your art wonderment podcast.
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".
