Exhibition Etiquette

Exhibition Etiquette

Author: Joana P. R. Neves, art curator and writer July 26, 2024 Duration: 28:40
This is a different kind of episode... 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. And look at us, here we are. @exhibitionistas_podcast exhibitionistaspod@gmail.com Music by Sarturn.

Art curator and writer Joana P. R. Neves guides you through the vibrant, sometimes intimidating, world of galleries and installations in Exhibitionistas │Visual Arts From All Angles. This isn't a dry lecture series; instead, it feels like having a knowledgeable friend who can decode the stories behind the canvas and the choices within a gallery space. Each episode is built on the idea that a meaningful art experience is for everyone, whether you're a seasoned collector or someone who simply feels curious during a museum visit. You'll be pulled into immersive audio travelogues that transport you to specific exhibitions, overhear genuine discussions with fellow spectators about what moved or puzzled them, and get straight answers from artists and curators in candid conversations. Joana playfully untangles both contemporary themes and enduring artistic questions, making connections that feel personal and relevant. The whole point of this podcast is to demystify the visual arts, replacing uncertainty with a sense of informed confidence. It provides the context and diverse perspectives that allow you to develop your own critical eye, ultimately putting you in charge of how you see and interpret art. Tune in for a thoughtful, engaging mix of analysis and anecdote that deepens your appreciation for what's on display.
