Art Insider is an interview segment with fascinating figures of the art field who lift the veil on their corner of contemporary art. 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. The scope of his 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.  We discuss pop music and visual art crossover in the 80s and the boisterous 90s whose suppressed history Luke knows and shares brilliantly.→ ⁠SIGN UP TO THE EXHIBITIONISTAS FILES: ⁠⁠⁠https://joanaprneves.substack.com/s/exhibitionistas⁠⁠→ DONATE (allow time for the Donorbox window to fully download): ⁠⁠⁠https://exhibitionistaspodcast.com/support-us⁠If you appreciate my work, why not buy me a coffee?

EPISODE: End of season episode where curator Joana P. R. Neves uncovers the richness of new perspectives on contemporary art through the ethos found in podcasting. Joana also shares insights from her attendance at the International Women Podcast Awards, highlighting the non-hierarchical nature of the podcasting community. Looking ahead, she teases new formats and changes for the upcoming season, while opening up about the need for engagement. Exhibitionistas Podcast • June 27, 2025 • Episode 2x21 • 44:25What You'll Learn from This EpisodeKey Questions Explored:- The podcast celebrates its two-season journey with 33 episodes.- Joana reflects on the two origins and evolution of the podcast.- Podcasting is transitioning into new formats and technologies–Joana reveals how this instills a new energy into art reviewing.- Inclusivity and non-hierarchical structures as essential feminist values intersecting with podcasting.- The role of the art critic is re-assessed and redefined.- Biographical data should be used against the elitism plaguing art in a non-deterministic way.- Museums contribue to elitism with the tools that should counter it.- Engagement and feedback from listeners are learned but necessary behaviours.- Joana sees podcasting as potentially extending the job market for art, provided there is financial sustainability.Key Themes Explored in This EpisodeThe unexpected relation between art, podcasting and feminism. The importance of inclusivity within feminism for the host. How critical thinking can be accessible through artist biographies and avoiding myth-making through superlatives. Audience engagement is crucial for podcasting; there is a relation between the podcaster and their audience. Podcasting fosters connections and breaks the unilateral aspect of contemporary art experiences and discourse. The reasons why there is a difficulty in turning a podcast sustainable are varied: audience habits are analysed as well as the audience awareness of podcast work. Major Themes: The Digital Format of Art Content, Ethics of Feminism in Podcasting, Museum Communication Strategies and Failures, Potential of Connectivity through the Accessibility of Podcasting, The Love and Respect for Art and Artist's time Dedication to Art, The State of Art Criticism Today, Contemporary Critical Thinking, Audience Engagement, How to Engage with a Podcast, The Importance of Paid Work in Podcasting. The importance of Understanding Podcasting with Critical Thinking and Writing, Art & Elitism, alienating audiences.Measure Pleasure examines the love and dedication to contemporary art, by spectators, curators, critics and, conversely, its reputation of elitism.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.Intro: 00:00:00The feminism of podcasting: 00:03:24Is the art critic obsolete?: 00:07:46The value of biases: 00:08:48Audience engagement: show your bias!: 00:12:24Biography: 00:14:38Do museums alienate audiences with declarations of greatness?: 00:20:06Insights into art podcasting: 00:29:54EXPECT SUMMER EPISODES!

We have an interview episode! Gallerist Sarah Le Quang Sang showcases and promotes female and queer artists, fighting, one step at a time, to reduce the price gap between genders, the lack of LGBTQIA+ representation in archives, collections, art fairs and private collections, but also the linear conception of artistic careers.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.⁠SIGN UP⁠⁠ for the NEWSLETTER!

Contemporary art is a feast for the senses. 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.

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.

Giuseppe Penone is a contemporary artist associated with the Arte Povera art movement. 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.You wouldn't leave the shop without paying for your latte, right?Buy us a latte ;-) ⁠https://exhibitionistaspodcast.com/support-us⁠SIGN UP for the NEWSLETTER!

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.>>>>>>>For more information about the artist visit her gallery's website: P420, Bologna, Italy.DID YOU ENJOY THE EPISODE?Support us through a donation or membership.DID YOU ENJOY THE TEXT?Follow me on Substack for more topics on art, society, artists and exhibitions.SUBSCRIBE , RATE AND FOLLOW US.

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.

A pioneer of experimental cinema, but also conceptual technology (yes, I made this one up), Anthony McCall has built a unique place in the recent history and present of contemporary art. From the UK to the US, from analogue to digital, McCall has created a body of work as playful as it is culturally relevant.For more information about the exhibition go here.My co-host is Liberté Nutti, who you can follow here for good tips about modern and contemporary art: @libertenuti.To know more about her, you can check her website.Support Exhbitionistas here.Follow us:⁠Substack⁠⁠Website⁠⁠Website⁠Bluesky: @exhibitionistas.bsky.social

Emily is the co-host of this episode about art, transgression, female desire and the male gaze through photo montage, as cultural commentary and self-exploration. 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.Listen to Linder's band Ludus.More about the exhibition here: Hayward Gallery.

If Hogarth and Mario Bros had a son, it would be Hardeep Pandhal, the artist whose drawings sprawl on the walls, on paper and on canvas at the Drawing Room until until the 13 April. 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.

Alfredo Cramerotti and Auronda Scalera are a curatorial duo specialising in art and technology, dedicated to bridging digital and contemporary art.#metaverse #AI #digitalart #newtechnologiesWe 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.Support Exhibitionistas:HOW CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE? With a one-off donationBecome a member.
