Virginia Woolf | Creative Flow and the Missing Paragraph | Art & Literature Edition

Your host, writer and curator Joana P. R. Neves, invites you to read "The Mark on the Wall", a short and strange essay by the British writer Virginia Woolf. What prompts a meditative exploration, and how does it lead to art making? Is the creative flow gendered? Do female artists and writers have direct access to it? Is it possible for them to hold it, uninterrupted? Did you enjoy the episode?

Virginia Woolf's 'The Mark on the Wall' was about creative flow, but what happens to it once it has been edited, and has entered into the world though one of its creations? Sign up for a tiered monthly support: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2624749/monetization/supporter_settings Your contribution keeps us going.How do we create? How to we get to that special place where we're in control while accepting the randomness of the reactive materials we work with? And what does that say about life? Welcome to our Art & Literature series where we asked: where are the books that talk about art appreciation, art enjoyment, art judgement, being art enthusiast? Where is the fiction, the literary essays that discuss topics such as art wonderment, art criticism, creative freedom, creative flow, meditative explorations of art, and even art and technology? Well, we found a few art nuggets for you!Links, as promised:Explorations of Sex and Self (reference to the Angel in the House): https://joanaprneves.substack.com/p/explorations-of-sex-and-selfAbout being drawn to "minor works": https://joanaprneves.substack.com/p/when-art-says-the-unspeakableJingle: "Wunder", experimental poem by Joana P.

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 Worlding in 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. Find us:On Instagram – @exhibitionistas_podcastOn Substack (NEWSLETTER: sign up!): Art Thinkosaurus > Exhibitionistas FilesOnline: www.exhibitionistaspodcast.comDo you want to be a guest on Art Etiquette?
