Time for Digital Hygiene | Why Analog Art Wonderment is Required Online

Is digital media preventing us from accessing the most exciting part of culture? In this final hiatus special, explore the unacknowledged difference between wonder and wander—and why curators and gallery-goers alike need digital hygiene. We dig into Wordsworth's poetry, Agnes Martin's meditative minimalism, and real art etiquette, plus the night my performance went viral and Snoop Dogg reposted it. A new era. A new episode structure. New segments.

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?
