Tania Kovats | When Conceptual Art Meets Water, Time and Menopause

What does dedicated art lover Emily Harding make of the conceptual art of British artist Tania Kovats? How does art writer and curator Joana P. R. Neves frame the subtle and minimal work of this contemporary female artist who considers water to be a sculptor? What will their art exploration reveal about Kovats’ motivations to create art around menopause, migration distress, time passing and life’s different stages? How different is it to appreciate an exhibition in a commercial gallery as opposed to an art space which is not trying to sell you anything?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?
