Description

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.
