Philip Guston | A Curator and an Art Novice Discuss Abstract Art and its Deviations

What insights can two friends, art writer and curator Joana P. R. Neves, and non-art expert but dedicated art lover Emily Harding, bring to the canceled, then re-opened exhibition of American artist Philip Guston? What will their art exploration reveal about Guston’s puzzling move away from Abstract Expressionism, into cartoonish and flesh pink KKK figures? Joana and Emily fearlessly embark on candid art conversations and exhibition walkthroughs for your vicarious pleasure. What aspects of the twentieth century twists ands turns will this retrospective lift?Did you enjoy the episode?

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?
