Sneak Peak on one of the most enjoyable exhibitions of the season for me, Ed Atkins at Tate Britain, and the episode "Performing Avatars–Generative Technology in Contemporary Art", where curator Joana P. R. Neves and a non art professional guest, architect Nick Taylor, have an authentic conversation about the show.
What you get from this short teaser:
A brief presentation of how museums use text to their advantage and yours despite being somewhat prescriptive and not very sexy.

Key themes explored: how you can be in control of your own museum experience; how Ed Atkins recreated the text reading experience at Tate Britain; how and why museums create discourse through text; how museums promote their exhibitions; museum texts and their effect on audiences; how artists play with the museum rules; why is it possible not to read the texts immediately; how museums create expectations–or not; contemporary art writing.
Perfect for: Art students, gallery visitors, anyone curious about art discourse and critique, and fans of philosophy of art, contemporary art audience engagement strategies, podcasters and more specifically art podcasters.
