Your art wonderment podcast.  With Joana P. R. Neves.  Now an AWARD WINNING PODCAST, Exhibitionistas was born to expand the experience of art into wider spaces of conversation. It pushes the boundaries of the sound and visual potential of experimental podcasting to convey deep, fascinating experiences of art from the perspective of the artist, the curator, an you, the spectator.  Prompted by a question, each episode follows a surprising path onto an urgent topic, a unique exhibition, a fantastic book, or an artist studio. It reminds you that contemporary art and life are intertwined.  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 for an episode".  A warning: We don't shy away from philosophy, books in general, reading out loud, pre-history, maverick language or etymology, feelings, stories, uncertainty and art theory. 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.

    Bonus Episode – The Embodied Art of Reading Aloud – Poem Delivery Service

    There are pockets of creativity in our everyday life. The embodied art of READING ALOUD is an overlooked source of joy, containing so many aspects that contemporary art and artists explore in their practice... Performance, drawing, text, breathing patterns... It all starts with Joana P. R. Neves, our host, asking what the body can do by itself, or with very little assistance, inspired by the last episode dedicated to artist Ana Mendieta. This is also our way of introducing the upcoming bonus mini-series POEM DELIVERY SERVICE, a poem-per-episode... with a twist.

    Ana Mendieta | Earth and Feminist Art Embodied at Tate Modern Exhibition

    What does the artist’s body do? No one pushes us to ask this more than the Cuban-American artist Ana Mendieta. Her excavated silhouettes in the landscape, where her body would at times lie, covered with petals or feathers, are but one of the actions and rituals that she performed during her short career. What did occur in her own body? Community? Communion? What was the origin and the purpose of her embodied art? And what is the medium for this kind of art, happening in and with the body of the artist?   Did you enjoy the episode? Think about supporting Exhibitionistas by leaving a small donation: https://buymeacoffee.com/exhibitionista Celebrated for being a visionary eco-feminist, an activist against violence women, Ana Mendieta’s work is often obliterated by the sensationalism around it. The exhibition at Tate Modern feels like meeting the artist for the first time.

    Creative Flow | The Artifice of Summer in Art and Life | Climate, Desire and Loss

    How and why do art and Summer join forces? Art, and visual arts especially, show imminent change–but so does Summer and its ideal of creative flow. How did–or did not–art speak of the climate emergency, gender policing, the war–in short, of loss? What role does this hot and luscious season play in the hubris of conquest, or the black hole of grief? Art curator and writer Joana P. R. Neves, our host, reminisces about Agnes Martin and John Cheever, and their opposing ideas of Summer and of creation, touching on two paintings by David Hockney and a poignant text by Luigi Pirandello. Joana loved a text sent to her by its author, Vittorio Zappa, on Substack, that guided the last part of the episode, leading to its denouement.  Is Summer the season of creative flow of life and art making, full of light and sensorial stimuli? Is creativity about desire or meditative art? Or are all these myths, perpetuated by capitalist simplifications? Has art contributed to create them? Or has it always been alerting us to the cruelty of change via Art Wonderment, the art of paradox? Did you enjoy the episode? Think about supporting Exhibitionistas by leaving a small donation: https://buymeacoffee.com/exhibitionista The painting A Bigger Splash, 1967, by David Hockney, is the epitome of hubristic summer. But it hides another painting, Portrait of an Artist (Pool with two figures), 1972, with a far more poignant story: they both tell the extremes of summer, and investigate the very special artifice telling a story of desire, change, loss and healing?  Sign up for a tiered monthly support: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2624749/monetization/supporter_settings Your contribution keeps us going.

    Rachel Cusk | Can Men Be (Good) Artists? | Art & Literature edition

    Writer Rachel Cusk asked: "Can a Woman who is an Artist Ever Just Be an Artist?" (NYT). Our host Joana, your favourite contemporary art writer and curator, turns this  question of gender and skill on its head: can men be (good) artists? Cusk's book "Parade" (2024) is this Art & Literature episode book of choice to tackle the issue. Can art and life be a continuous flow for female artists, as it seems to be for male ones? Joana embarks on an art and feminism quest: is gender a prison? Or is it the forceful power of the patriarchy's creative flow? She is helped by living and fictional contemporary artists and writers, intersectional feminism, and philosophy of art via Vilem Flusser and his "theory of gestures". Did you enjoy the episode? Think about supporting Exhibitionistas by leaving a small donation: https://buymeacoffee.com/exhibitionista Art and Feminism claim to walk hand in hand, but what if the structure of the art system itself was an inheritance of archaic patriarchal systems? The famous artist Georg Baselitz, who passed away this year, is a central figure in Cusk's book "Parade". Was he a product or an instigator of the system? And what is the patriarchal system? How and where does it manifest? And finally, where are modern men now, within this system that seems to block creative flow and artistic expression?

    Art Criticism | Does it Still Matter? An Art 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 art criticism, artistic quality assessment, curatorial etiquette, and the future of art evaluation itself. What is art criticism 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 which art experiences should be measured? Did you enjoy the episode?

    Art Wonderment Manifesto | ft Lao Tzu, Susanna Inglada, Fernando Pessoa's Best Heteronym

    AI is forcing us to define what being human is. So, did our host, an art curator and writer, dare to create a Manifesto? Awkward? Or are we not used to women proclaiming things? How can art–seemingly at the brink of commodification–bear new forms of being human? Or is does it spotlight you, art wanderer? The self-help book "Tiny Experiments " by Anne-Laure Le Cunff sparked this art question: why did it excite such a meditative exploration of the role of art, and its urgent proclamation? Tune in to find out. Did you enjoy the episode? Think about supporting Exhibitionistas by leaving a small donation: https://buymeacoffee.com/exhibitionista What else to do when we live in a society of images, but don't know what they are?

    Art Copies v Originals | Is Art Wonderment Possible with a Reproduction of an Art Work?

    As an art curator and writer, our host is often faced with printed or digital art portfolios – does this art digital hygiene go against art etiquette? Is art appreciation valid, or even possible through a copy of an art work? Through art images in a book? This issue hides a bigger one: how do you experience art if you live in a country far from the big museums and collections? Our host gets candid and starts with a personal anecdote–she's not always lived in London... Did you enjoy the episode? Think about supporting Exhibitionistas by leaving a small donation: https://buymeacoffee.com/exhibitionista This ‘art anxiety’ is reinforced by the concept, coined by the German thinker Walter Benjamin, of “the aura”, the "here and now of the work of art" understood as a defense of the unique art experiences ‘in the flesh’. The episode relies on his seminal book, "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction", and asks the following art questions: how does one experience art in spaces where there isn't any? How important is art as an object? If the art object ceases to be important, then what does art become? Sign up for a tiered monthly support: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2624749/monetization/supporter_settings Your contribution keeps us going. What if we’d 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 is preserving the here and now of the aesthetic experience was a form of gatekeeping? And how can we read the concept of aura today?
