Exhibitionistas: Notes on Contemporary Art and Life

Yoko Ono - Part 1 | The Unsung Heroine of Instruction Art Discovered in London’ Tate Modern

1 tim 13 min5 april 2024

Was Yoko Ono a conceptual artist before she hit the mainstream by falling in love with one of the most famous men on the planet in the 1960s? So, what was dedicated art lover Emily Harding’s knowledge of her work, prior to this survey show at Tate Modern? And, for that matter, how much did art curator and writer Joana P. R. Neves know about this unsung hero of conceptualism and instruction art?

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.
