Neves, challenges you to explore the mystery of a missing paragraph in Virginia Woolf's 'The Mark on the Wall', and its significance for creative pursuits. You're about to dwell on the flow of consciousness as creative flow – the art of mastering and letting go simultaneously.

How do we create? How to we get to that special place where we're in control while accepting the randomness of the reactive materials we work with? And what does that say about life?

Takeaways

  • Textual discrepancies in literary works can reveal insights into the author's creative process.
  • Favorite texts can deeply influence creativity and self-perception. Better than self-help books? Find out for yourself!

Posted on social media and even made with the help of AI, LLMs, and more, creative initiatives and art objects may now also live in online art spaces. Is an art podcast to be confused with it? What are the joys and dangers of real art spaces becoming virtual ones? Or is the danger elsewhere, and the art education potentially everywhere?


Art Topic is an art discussion segment about intriguing art themes, or exciting new approaches to classic art topics in visual arts, with art experts, thinkers or curators. This time, host and art writer Joana P. R. Neves shares some insights about art spaces in light of our presence in online spaces, through her relatively new role as a female podcaster.


Does being present online affect our presence IRL in galleries, museums and art spaces in general? Two exhibitions stimulated this critique of digital engagement and creativity: Peter Doig's House of Music and Danielle Brathwaite Shirley's The Delusion at the Serpentine gallery. Before we visit the two exhibitions, and proposing an art review of sorts, Joana analyses how her work as an art podcaster provides insights into the realities of new technologies, creativity, the social feedback loop and having a sentient body.

Art spaces can and should help us understand the impact of the internet and AI on our humanity.


For further reading, Joana has written extensively on Substack about the reception of art, spectatorship and the exhibitions aforementioned: https://joanaprneves.substack.com/p/the-comedy-of-contemporary-art

Art Insider is an art discussion segment with fascinating visual arts thinkers and curators who lift the veil on their corner of the field (hosted by Joana P. R. Neves).

  • ​The old question "what is contemporary art" but in light of queer communities and trans people.
  • ​Curating strategies and innovative approaches.
  • ​We discuss their co-curated exhibition "Talisman" about objects with symbolic and energetic force bringing safety and protection, but also of resistance in queer lives–the relation between the talisman and the art object and visual arts is timeless.

(Talisman was an art exhibition presented by Cardion Arts in Collaboration with The Museum of Transology.)

Rolls Bentley & E-J Scott: ART INSIDERfull<![CDATA[Visual Artist Studio Secrets with A. M. Caballero & A. Jabre: MY ART TOOLS]]>What if a visual artist’s favourite tool revealed their underlying art themes and intrinsic creative processes?


Hosted by Joana P. R. Neves.

Guests: Ana María Caballero and Alexandra Jabre.


This segment is as much:

  • ​an art education as
  • ​an introduction to art critique,

by empowering you

  • ​with art tips
  • ​art techniques we seldom talk about.


My Art Tools is a segment associating two art talks where an established visual artist opens their tool box: what is their fetish instrument? An artist life can get as technical as it can be spiritual. In fact, they may be related...


But most of all, a visual artist's hand guides you through the passion of following one’s vision, the pleasures of trusting an instinct, and the resilience it takes to work creatively. After all, creative processes are everywhere, for the visual artist as for any problem-solving situation, with an added philosophical twist.


Our two guests also discuss what it takes to embark on a creative life, what it takes to create poetry, sculpture, and more. What sacrifices do you make, what path do you take, and what kind of healing does art bring?

What a nice setting for a contemporary art venue. That walk back to the tube is always a slow and ponderous one. We do talk a lot about walks back to the tube after visiting exhibitions in this episode! We visited the retrospective exhibition of the feminist pioneer Judy Chicago, whose blueprint was a hitherto unpublished manuscript, Revelations, inspired by Illuminations and myths of the Goddess. You can purchase it online or in the book shop. The show was curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, the artistic director of the gallery. We exchanged different experiences and thoughts about the exhibition, based partially on the curatorial choices that were made and which puzzled us somewhat, although we support the ecological reasons they are based on. For more information about the exhibition go here: https://www.serpentinegalleries.org/whats-on/judy-chicago-revelations/ Follow Judy Chicago on Instagram: @judy.chicago And follow us! @exhibitionistas_podcast Music by Sarturn. no01:43:05Judy Chicagofull<![CDATA[Colour in Visual Arts: Eating, Touching, Making & Other Methods to Explore One Of The Hottest Art Themes]]>For some, colour is subjective, for others it's vital.

It's a very very short text that can basically change your life.

With a simple shift in narrative, Le Guin demonstrates how we can totally change the STORY.

But... how does this apply to curating?


ART BOOK CLUB is a segment where a guest suggests a book which was not written with contemporary art in mind and yet is a source of inspiration, guidance and / or creativity for their work. Hosted by Joana P. R. Neves.

Le Guin with curator Catherine Li - ART BOOK CLUBfull<![CDATA[Ed Atkins’ Performing Avatars–Generative Technology in Contemporary Art–Tate Survey Exhibition]]>Visual artist Ed Atkins’s work is an existential theatre with avatars, CGI, motion capture technology, traditional figural drawing, Unreal Engine, filmed performance, experimental writing and much more.  Architect and first-time guest on the podcast, Nick Taylor, and I, get lost, fall into the temporary exhibition through a faulty door, rush through the show to watch the timed film, return a second time because one of us went to Tate Modern first, discuss exhibition-visiting methods, critique wall texts, and reflect upon our own relation with time, narrative, devotion and death

If you enjoyed the episode, you may enjoy my essays on Substack: ⁠⁠https://joanaprneves.substack.com⁠⁠

Across all technologies, we've asked the same questions: 

…are we spectators or actors? 

…contemplative or engaged? 

…are images and the people in them dead? 

…and if so, why are they moving (both as a verb and an adjective)?

Hailed as a pioneer of digital technology, Ed Atkins' work found its groove in early experiments with video-editing. These quickly migrated into the world of gaming, with its motion capture and CGI animation, and their striking similarity with live performance through timed duration, but with a complicated relation with the physical world and real, fleshy bodies.

Laisul Hoque Chooses Babu Bangladesh! by Numair Atif Choudhury – ART Book Clubfull<![CDATA[The Sound of Drawing–Graphic Explorations of Language in Art–A Sonic Voyage into Irma Blank's Meditative Art]]>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 net of information which connects us as much as it separates us? And what is the value of communication – and of silence? Irma Blank has taught me that and much more.

The avant-gardes of the 1960s–70s were proliferous in innovative and minimal methods of creativity engaging the breath, the whole body and graphic deconstructions of language. Irma Blank was one of those artists with a subversive take on traditional artistic languages.

Have you ever wondered how artists and curators work together? This episode muses upon the relation between me, a young-ish curator and the artist Irma Blank, who'd reached the age of 80 when we met, along with my co-curator Johana Carrier.

This episode is an excerpt of a lecture given by me on the 3rd of February  2025 at ABK Stuttgart whose title was "The Paper is Impatient", under the invitation of the drawing department, and their teachers Katrin Ströbel and Hanna Hennenkemper.


The « drawing sounds » are excerpts of Irma Blank’s recordings of the sound of each series. For Radical Writings, she recorded herself, breathing in and out, because that was the basis of the image’s structure.


Music by Sarturn.

If you enjoy Katy Hessel's The Great Women Artists Podcast, this episode is for you. It is centred around the artistic practice of female German artist Irma Blank, who never stopped producing her art, whether it was shown in prestigious events such as the Venice Biennale in 1977, or it wasn't, like when her Radical Writings on canvas were deemed a form of yielding to the 80s trend of the return to painting... whereas Blank was, on the contrary, more militant than ever for her elemental forms of the line and the minimal gesture by deeply engaging with the meditative breath in relation to the line and the colour blue, which for her represented infinity. Blank passed away in 2023, leaving a potent body of work whose incredible energy leaves no spectator or curator indifferent.

We visited his first exhibition at David Zwirner, London, where we discovered drawings, paintings, mirror works and much more.  Our research led us to his beginnings in Dresden and Düsseldorf, in post war GDR and Western Germany.  What is fascinating is how the photographic image is the guiding light in his relation to trauma, to history, to the present but most of all, to painting. Pop Art, Abstract Expressionism, Duchamp, all had an impact on Richter who nevertheless built his own path in the always menaced painting genre throughout the end of the century.  Indeed, how many times was painting declared dead in the 20th century?! Too many to count. We kept our relation to Richter's work personal and fluid (Emily even got to do some reading), as there are so many sources out there for further information, amongst which: the catalogue raisonné published in 2022 by Hatjze Cantz; the Richter Interviews published in 2019 by Heni Publishing; and much more, which you can find here: https://gerhard-richter.com/en/literature Info about the exhibition: https://www.davidzwirner.com/exhibitions/2024/gerhard-richter You can also explore Richter's website: https://gerhard-richter.com/en/ Music: Sarturn no01:10:30Gerhard Richterfull<![CDATA[Daidō Moriyama]]>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/exhibitionistas/episodes/Daid-Moriyama-e2tub2b4253eefd-bfe2-4e16-b874-4bc286da0cc5Fri, 08 Mar 2024 06:00:00 GMTIn this episode, we explore the medium of photography through the lens - pun intended - of Daidō Moriyama's life work. We visited his exhibition at the Photographer's Gallery and we had very different experiences!  https://thephotographersgallery.org.uk/whats-on/daido-moriyama-retrospective Curators: Thyago Nogueira and Claire Grafik We chat a lot about what it means to look at street photography and what it might feel to be in the photograph itself. What if it was you who were on an exhibition poster? We discuss minimalist and maximalist exhibitions, but, mostly, Moriyama's unfussed and iconoclastic relation with the medium. He is just cool. https://www.moriyamadaido.com/en/ @exhibitionistas_podcast Music: Sarturn no01:09:01Daidō Moriyamafull<![CDATA[Festivities Episode (with Surprise Guest) ✨]]>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/exhibitionistas/episodes/Festivities-Episode-with-Surprise-Guest-e2tub2475aaa7b6-37b3-425e-a522-305996b60dadSun, 29 Dec 2024 06:00:00 GMTWe're wrapping up 2024 with a friends &amp; family celebration.And what a year it has been: Exhibitionistas was born.So, to celebrate kinship of all kinds through art, we decided to invite a special guest who has been steeped in art since birth, Joana's daughter, artist and dancer Constança Saturnino.How does growing up with an artist and a curator influence your idea of art?Follow us on Instagram: @exhibitionistas_podcastYou can also check out Constança's work on Instagram: @saturn.conchCheck out her handpoke tattoo Instagram: @field.trailOr her website: https://www.constancasaturnino.comPlease remember to support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/exhibitionistaspodcast/membershipMusic by Sarturn. no00:50:05Festivities Episode (with Surprise Guest) ✨full<![CDATA[Tania Kovats]]>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/exhibitionistas/episodes/Tania-Kovats-e2tub2973c1d99e-eaa5-4d1b-bca8-f8201842be32Fri, 23 Feb 2024 06:00:00 GMTIn this third episode, we explore the work of Tania Kovats after having visited her exhibition "as above so below" at Parafin Gallery. We go back to her beginnings and appreciate how far she's come into her exploration of the elements, with a big emphasis on bodies of water. @kovats66 This is the first time we visit a commercial gallery for the podcast and there is some discussion about the advantages of visiting this type of exhibition space.  https://www.parafin.co.uk https://www.parafin.co.uk/exhibitions/2023/exhibitions-2023-tania-kovats There may be some reading as well, as the artist's work led to some new books ! We find out that Kovats' work takes us on a journey into the history of the earth and our own place in it, which means thinking and feeling geologically, politically, socially and even, perhaps, metaphysically...  Music: Sarturn. no01:08:54Tania Kovatsfull<![CDATA[Tracey Emin]]>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/exhibitionistas/episodes/Tracey-Emin-e2tub3025febc3e-47db-4d17-a5a1-7f35a5267609Fri, 11 Oct 2024 05:00:00 GMTThis is a real banger of an exhibition and episode!We explore Tracey Emin's exhibition "I Followed You to the end" at White Cube Bermondsey, open from 19 September to 10 November 2024.

We have our first guest on the podcast, art advisor Liberté Nuti. As often happens in the art world, we are not always familiar with each other's jobs. And forget telling people you are a podcaster! (People think you are an influencer selling hair products online.) So let's start to dismantle some myths and find out more about what it is that us intermediaries of the art world do.Joana goes on this quest on her own this time, as Emily is on sick leave, and it is Joana's expertise after all, to interview people and do talks about art topics.Joana asks Liberté about all theses things and ends the conversation on the topic of dream exhibitions.

We decided to record smaller formats here and there for you to explore a topic related to exhibitions that everyone thinks is a given. There are no givens for us, we like to question everything.  And we know that unlike cinemas, or bookshops, exhibition galleries can feel intimidating. And we want you to know that an art lover and an art professional can also feel this discombobulating feeling of alienation in exhibiton spaces, which at times, prompts us to feel embarrassed, out of our depth, or even to make a few faux-pas. It happens to everyone, especially, I would say, to exhibitionistas.  And by now, you, dear listener, can consider yourself as such! We are a big community! This is the last episode of this season. We will be back very soon, with a new string of exhibition experiences, and perhaps, who knows, smaller episodes like this one alternating with the big ones. A weekly episode drop?! Who knows, anything is possible. After all, we did start this podcast with innocent and extravagant confidence.

The Tate Modern has set up an impressive retrospective, those once-in-a-lifetime exhibitions that you cannot miss if you're in town. So we decided to dig in and bring it to you if you can't make it and enhance your experience if you did. There are opinions, feelings, stories and a cacophonous experience that will leave no one indifferent.  Jack White finally makes an appearance again as we had once promised!  Joana and Emily introduce you to the universe of Mike Kelley, of anarchist and punk teenage and young adult years, who ceaselessly poked at the overwhelming and overpowering world of entertainment. Then they move on to his academic life and career achievements, always marked by a rebellious streak consistently visible in his work about the traps of memory, the failings of education and psychology, and the fine line between fiction and reality.

Even the threshold between the hall and the exhibition space is a happening in "Leap Year", the first survey of the South Korean artist in the UK, open from 9 October 2024 to 5 January 2025.This episode was recorded during the week, late in the afternoon, rather than in our usual time (the early hours of a quiet Sunday) so it may be infused with a certain chaotic energy.

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 processes, and the art market, I provide access to visual arts from the inside. So, I bring up art theory, art history and professional takes on exhibitions and art-making but, as an art lover, I avoid art jargon. Contemporary visual arts engages with popular culture, life experiences, singular perceptions, as much as with ideas and concepts. Exhibitionistas stands at the intersection of life, theory and art.

I also write essays and short art insights on Substack.

Does our own internal journey through life affect our perception of art? Embark on this trip with your host, Joana P. R. Neves.

Ft. Haroon Mirza, Yates Norton, Inês Costa.

In this episode you'll find out about British artist Haroon Mirza's new commissioned piece (a performance and a sound installation) for Focal Point Gallery's exhibition In Other Worlds: Acts of Translation . By travelling with our host, curator Joana P. R. Neves, you hear about the people, the seascapes, the urban areas, histories of Essex's estuary, through the scope of Mirza's translation of electric sounds from an older piece into human voices. This journey will be narrated by Joana, and interspersed with recordings of the artist, and the two curators of the exhibition, Inês Costa and Yates Norton. And finally, you'll arrive on site to experience the performance Adam, Eve, Others and a UFO for Choral Octet.

Ben Luke (A Brush With podcast) and his new book: ART INSIDER]]>Guest: Ben Luke (Host of A Brush With)

Ben Luke is an art journalist whose voice reaches a wider audience through his successful podcast A Brush With, where each episode is dedicated to an artist interview led by him. His new book, What is art for? Contemporary artists on their inspirations, influences and disciplines (2025, Heni), stems from it.


Art Insider is an interview segment with fascinating figures of the art field who lift the veil on their corner of contemporary art. 


The scope of Luke’s questions is aimed toward building a good perspective on what artists look at, listen to, and where they draw their energy, inspiration and creative flow from.  This spirited worldview applies also, in this episode, to pop music and visual art crossovers in the 80s and the boisterous 90s whose suppressed history Luke knows and shares brilliantly.

We chat about loss, childhood, overlapping times, grief and the colonial residue of authentic relationships filled with love. We didn't always agree but that is the power of exhibitions: we shared diverging experiences, which made the episode even more compelling and at times hilarious. There a few hilarious anecdotes about 80's parenting - or lack thereof.

Mercier and M. Roca Díe: MY ART TOOLS full<![CDATA[Is AI shaping the future of art? Interview with Alfredo Cramerotti and Auronda Scalera]]>Alfredo Cramerotti and Auronda Scalera are a curatorial duo specialising in art and technology, dedicated to bridging digital and contemporary art.

#metaverse #AI #digitalart #newtechnologies

We either speak over-enthusiastically about AI or in fear of its impact on creativity. My guests stand somewhat in between, advocating for a better understanding of its potential as a tool which they base upon their experiences with artists. The latter have always been irreverent regarding technologies since pigment was blown onto a hand leaving its mysterious mark on a cave wall… So what happens now, with the metaverse, AI and virtual reality? Are these new exhibition spaces? And how to they affect the existing ones? 


Our discussion took us to lots of places, amongst which the installation created by artist duo Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst, THE CALL for the Serpentine, which enabled spectators to interact with an AI who had trained with choirs across the UK; we talk about artists who connect writing with sculpture, performance, and new technologies, such as Ana María Caballero, (who just sold a poem in an online auction of Bitcoin Ordinals inscriptions called Natively Digital, for 0.28 Bitcoin or $11,430 at Sotheby’s), and much more. I also mention the great Jan Hopkins, an artist and writer based in Sheffield.


Cramerotti and Scalera both teach at MA IESA University Paris & Kingston University London. They co-curated the Lumen Prize x Sotheby's plus this year and the Art Dubai Digital Section 2024. As a duo, they form the International Selection Committee of the Lumen Prize and work as nominators for the Maxxi-Bvlgari Prize for Digital Art. While co-directing Multiplicity-Art in Digital, an online platform promoting women artists with a focus on diversity and inclusion, they spearhead Web to Verse, a project dedicated to fostering research on the evolution of digital art from the 1960s to the present day.

This multifaceted profile has led them to speak at prestigious events such as the UK House of Lords’ All-Party Parliamentary Group, the House of Beautiful Business, the AI House (during the World Economic Forum), the Riyadh Art Program for the KSA Visual Art Commission. They have worked with the UK Government Art Collection, the British Council Visual Arts Acquisition Committee, the Italian Ministry of Culture for the Italian Council 2022-24 program, and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Interview with Alfredo Cramerotti and Auronda Scalerafull<![CDATA[From portrait to self-portrait: Zanele Muholi's activist photography and sculpture]]>After a hilarious take on Gladiator II by Emily, we explore Muholi's unique path into activism, photography, curated exhibitions, sculpture, and self-imagery. Muholi's work focuses on queer communities in South Africa through a form of what the artist calls "visual activism". But there is also self-portraiture, as the artist is part of this LGBTQIA+ diverse fabric. For Muholi, their use of the pronouns they/them goes way beyond gender identity. It recognises past histories, visible and invisible, and identity as multitude. Muholi says 'There are those who came before me who make me.' Shockingly, Emily and I broke our own rules and actually visited the show together… which turned out to be quite productive.

You wouldn't leave the shop without paying for your latte, right?

Buy us a ⁠latte⁠ ;-)


How empowering can the #artmarket be? How can a commercial gallery push boundaries? Be more inclusive? And what are the intersections between collections, trans rights, motherhood, family and queer communities? Sarah Le Quang Sang may not have all the answers, but she has all the good questions. She asks: why are birthdates important? Why is there an artistic career template? Who has access to museum collections? Art fairs?


If you enjoyed this episode, and if you enjoy reading, Joana's ⁠Substack⁠ might be for you.


A new star in the constellation of London galleries, Sarah Le Quang Sang, established a commercial gallery in Shoreditch in 2024–SLQS–to champion female and queer artists. We mention her current exhibition of three Vietnamese artists, Vicky Do, Hua Dung-Clerget and Duong Thuy Nguyen, as well as the previous exhibition by trans non-binary artist Bex Wade which prompted an acquisition of their work by the V&A, now shown at Young V&A Bethnal Green.


We had to mention the Supreme Court Ruling in past April reducing gender to biological sex, and thus legally erasing trans women particularly, and the trans community in general. Bex Wade was invited to write about the photos of the exhibition (Queer nightlife in the US in 2010s, a time of lightness and joy) in the context of anti-trans movements rising and becoming more vocal. I read an excerpt of the text at the end of the episode.

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 always timely, as she enters her 7th decade on earth.

Support us: here.

Check out Linder on social media: @lindersterling.

The artist's work explores notions of diaspora, immigration, colonial trauma, post-colonial issues, queerness and much more. But most of all it is a delightful installation of magnificent drawings for their skilled unskillfulness and their recording of queer love, tenderness, sex and life. The exhibition is called "Their mouths were full of bumblebees but it was me who was pollinated", and it was a commission specifically for the, well, curved space of The Curve.  For more information:  https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2024/event/soufiane-ababri Follow Soufiane Ababri on Instagram:  @soufianeababri Follow us: exhibitionistas_podcast Music by: Sarturn no01:17:36Soufiane Ababrifull<![CDATA[Marina Abramović]]>In this first episode of Exhibitionistas we look back on one of the most exciting contemporary art exhibitions of last year, Marina Abramović at the Royal Academy.

It was organized by Tate Modern and Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfallen.  https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/yoko-ono Instagram: @yokoono Born in 1933, Yoko Ono lived between three continents, and explored experimental art and music all throughout her life. This exhibition presents us with a lot of her work from the 1950s to today and is extremely collaborative and free. At the ripe age of 91 Yoko Ono is still a creative force that remained, for a great part, uncelebrated. Infamous, even. We hope to deconstruct these biased views and to unfold a rich and bold energy, fully dedicated to art. How did we navigate such a space? How did we connect to the work? What parts of her life touched us the most? Tune in and find out!

Such was our experience at Zeinab Saleh's exhibition at the heart of Tate Britain, part of the Art Now program, which welcomes contemporary young artists in one of the many rooms of the museum. We discuss the notion of quiet, how it is dismissed in our culture, and how the artist not only embraces it but also almost magically creates it through mixed media paintings and drawings. A simple setting eliciting mindful dreaming and sheer presence. The exhibition was curated by Amy Emmerson Martin (assistant curator) and Nathan Ladd (curator).

But it's not, so we decided to describe it as an origin story: we go back to the reasons why we decided to do this podcast and why it has such a distinctive format: an arts specialist and an exhibition goer candidly discussing solo exhibitions.This intro is a way to ease into this new and promising second season, and to (re)introduce the podcast to our listeners. It's always good to go over the rules of the game. Believe me, you will be reminded that this is a feelings, research and thoughts podcast. (And if you think these don't go together, think again!)Asking each other questions has allowed us to reveal to each other a few things we hadn't discussed, busy, as we were, with actually producing the episodes. There are a few revelations in there, self-explorations and we realise what the podcast brought us, and, by extension, our listeners. Or so we hope!Music: Saturn.Instagram: exhibitionistas_podcast. no00:37:47The Exhibitionistas Origin Story!full<![CDATA[Lauren Halsey's Maximalist art: Freedom, Identity, Revolution, Care]]>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/exhibitionistas/episodes/Lauren-Halseys-Maximalist-art-Freedom--Identity--Revolution--Care-e2tub2ma8e729e3-e44a-40cf-8ec5-cc93d591aac9Fri, 24 Jan 2025 00:20:01 GMTEXHIBITIONISTAS CELEBRATES ONE YEAR OF PODCASTING! 🍌🍌🍌If you want to give us a birthday present, we have ideas&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;For a one-off donation: paypal.me/exhibitionistas [https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/my/profile]For a membership: https://www.patreon.com/c/exhibitionistaspodcast/membership And now the episode.

They explore the life and work of On Kawara, a significant figure in contemporary art known for his repetitive and conceptual Date Paintings (1966 - 2012).

How do you deal with an artist who did everything he could to reduce life to art, and thus preserve life's unique intangibility? How do you experience a series of works dedicated to the obsessive recording of time through craft?

"It was quite the experience"

"On Kawara is a concept, in himself"

"What else do you want?"

Half auto-biography, half hybrid character-driven cross-temporal fantasies, one thing is certain, we loved “Inner World”.

If you’re not in London, and you want to know more about the artist, he is represented by Jhaveri Contemporary in Mumbai, who I profusely thank for all the information they sent me.


This time, my two co-hosts, interdisciplinary movement artist Naissa Bjørn and visual artist Constança Saturnino, are YOUNG.  So we have an Gen X versus Gen Z episode. And it’s a delight. 

We talk also talk about: neurodiversity, the spectator experience, drawing, community, aphantasia, dyslexia, synesthesia, contemporary drawing, exhibitions, art galleries.

This time, he has gathered images around the ancestral notion of "the elements", seen through the contemporary lens of sustainability and the impending climate tragedy.Is the book an exhibition? And if so, what kind? There is a mystery underlying these questions  which is the statuts and power of images in their different spaces such as galleries or publications.

We discuss artist and writer Aria Dean's Abattoir U.S.A.!, a videogame inspired video installation and a sculptural work exploring exhibitions and otherness / othering. The theme of the slaughterhouse is a powerful one, and it was treated by Dean in a subtle and powerful way. We also read Dean's book Bad Infinity: Selected Writings (Sternberg Press). It is a philosophical exploration of minimal and contemporary art through the lens of blackness and western thought. There is a theory of representation informed by what we learned to be called Afropessimism.  We go into all of this in this episode, although we may not have understood everything. Such is the magic of exhibitions and books! We go back, and back, and back again. no01:16:42Aria Deanfull<![CDATA[Art Writing versus Speaking About Art - Art Topic]]>ART TOPIC is is an exploration of a topic through visual arts or vice-versa.

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 how it is re-articulated by automation is promising and exciting if we let it.

If you enjoyed this episode, and if you enjoy reading, Joana's Substack might be for you.

I was invited to participate in a conversation on the occasion of the launch of Trajectories, Variations on a Gesture a book which is almost a sculpture or an exhibition in itself, containing 10 drawings made at Massana school of crafts (Barcelona) by Edouard Cabay. The director of the school, Xavi Capmany invited Cabay, an experimental architect and artist to bring his algorithmic practice at the heart of a school teaching manual crafts in order to create a dialogue between the different uses of the hand, of patterns, of the eye, the brain, muscle and memory. I dediced to start by reading a short text, which you can enjoy, in a longuer version, here.

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?</p><p><strong>You wouldn't leave the shop without paying for your latte, right?</strong></p><p><strong>Buy us a </strong><a href=" ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://exhibitionistaspodcast.com/support-us⁠⁠⁠" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>latte</strong></a><strong> ;-)</strong></p><p>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 how it is re-articulated by automation is promising and exciting if we let it. </p><p><strong>If you enjoyed this episode, and if you enjoy reading, Joana's </strong><a href="https://joanaprneves.substack.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Substack</strong></a><strong> might be for you.</strong></p><p>I was invited to participate in a conversation on the occasion of the launch of Trajectories, Variations on a Gesture a book which is almost a sculpture or an exhibition in itself, containing 10 drawings made at Massana school of crafts (Barcelona) by Edouard Cabay. The director of the school, Xavi Capmany invited Cabay, an experimental architect and artist to bring his algorithmic practice at the heart of a school teaching manual crafts in order to create a dialogue between the different uses of the hand, of patterns, of the eye, the brain, muscle and memory. I dediced to start by reading a short text, which you can enjoy, in a longuer version, here.</p><p><a href="https://exhibitionistaspodcast.com/newsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">⁠<strong>SIGN UP</strong>⁠</a><strong> for the NEWSLETTER! </strong></p><p><strong>Be the first to know our upcoming episode, get our UNTIMELY BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS, and juicy facts + useful links.</strong></p><p><strong>For behind the scenes clips, links to the artists and guests we cover, and visuals of the exhibitions we discuss follow us on Instagram: @exhibitionistas_podcast</strong></p><p><strong>Bluesky: @exhibitionistas.bsky.social</strong></p><p><strong>exhibitionistaspod@gmail.com</strong></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>#contemporaryart #artexhibitions #artmovement #experimentalart #automation #touch, #representation #craft #technology #artisticexpression, #contact #traces #artistresidency #edouardcabay #massanaschool</strong></p><p><br /></p><p>About us: If you enjoy the podcast If Books Could Kill and You Are Good, you will enjoy Exhibitionistas, where artists are unveiled through current and pertinent angles, and through thoughts and feelings.

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 material 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, using organic growth as an art process that the artist mirrors, plays and aligns with. Have we been forcing a dialogue between his work and Celant’s concept? What other relations with memory and matter has he expanded through his work? Was he a pioneer of eco-art? A late romantic? All of the above? 

Artist ⁠Diogo Pimentão⁠ is my co-host for the first time. As ever, I’ll introduce the artist and he’ll take us through this small retrospective exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery. 

Curated by Claude Adjil, Curator at Large, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director, with Alexa Chow, Assistant Exhibitions Curator.
