*Art Insider* Episode: Art Insider is an interview segment hosted by the host Joana P. R. Neves with art professionals, who uncover the hidden secrets and journeys of art jobs.  When is an art trail more than a walk from sculpture to sculpture?

Sarah Carrington shares the ins and outs of her work for the Public Art Trail in East London The Line, as well as the joys of producing and supporting artistic commissions, for an urban space full of wildlife and industrial areas, away from the capital's most overcrowded areas.

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-us⁠ If 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 • 44:25 What You'll Learn from This Episode Key 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.

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!

These podcasts were a great inspiration for our format because they're nerdy and engaging, researched and approachable. The co-host and the guest co-host or interviewed guest engage in a conversation informed by an accessible and lively presentation of the subject, through which you can reflect on a show or a topic or discover it, learn or re-evaluate artistic topics crossing over into our everyday lives.
