Art Lover and dedicated exhibition goer Emily Harding discusses with art curator Joana P. R. Neves the exhibition of US artist Aria Dean at the ICA, London. Will Abattoir U.S.A.! with its gaming inspired video offer a critique of today’s America?Dean's book introduces Frank Wilderson's notion of Afropessimism, which Joana shares by reading a few excerpts. What is this theory and how does it connect with the exhibition, which is not literally engaging with Black History? Is Dean’s subliminal language haunting enough to bring those issues to the surface?

Why does Dean use the theme of the slaughterhouse? And will Dean's book Bad Infinity: Selected Writings (Sternberg Press) with several references to Georges Bataille and other European philosophies illuminate the exhibition?

Joana and Emily also provide art student resources via a thorough introduction of the contemporary artist they focus on along with art banter, meditative explorations, and, often, feminist perspectives on histories often built through the obligatory male gaze.
Expect: a colourful artist biography; art history musings; art theory and art language dissected or used in accessible ways; art wonderment in buckets; international art; thoughts on curatorial work; and art etiquette challenges…

Created & Hosted by Dr. Joana P. R. Neves, art curator and writer with over 20 years of experience in the contemporary art field. Artistic director of Drawing Now Paris since 2018, she has worked across the industry, from the art market to education. She co-launched the art residency and project space Worldingin 2020. Exhibitionistas’ first year offered exhibition discussions with guest co-host Emily Harding; organically, it grew into a more experimental show exploring art topics, stories and interviews complemented by Joana’s publication Art Thinkosaurus on Substack. She champions ‘Art Wonderment’s’ embrace of complexity against the lure of ready-made opinions. A polyglot, she grew up in Lisbon, studied and lived in Paris, to finally settle in London with her artist husband, four children and two cats.
