We are delighted to explore our first ICA show in this episode. We discuss artist and writer Aria Dean's Abattoir U.S.A.!, a videogame inspired video installation and a sculptural work exploring exhibitions and otherness / othering. The theme of the slaughterhouse is a powerful one, and it was treated by Dean in a subtle and powerful way. We also read Dean's book Bad Infinity: Selected Writings (Sternberg Press). It is a philosophical exploration of minimal and contemporary art through the...

Here we are! Part 2 of our episode dedicated to Yoko Ono's retrospective exhibition at Tate Modern, Music of the Mind. We cannot believe we managed to talk about the exhibition but... we used our imagination, and so will you. Follow us virtually in this exploration of Ono's life and work, and, more importantly, her exhibition. We focus on the highlights (for us) as it would be near impossible to talk about everything. There are so many delightful details and pieces that will speak to everyone...

In this episode, we dig into Gerhard Richter's lifetime of painting and his incursions in more conceptual works. We visited his first exhibition at David Zwirner, London, where we discovered drawings, paintings, mirror works and much more.  Our research led us to his beginnings in Dresden and Düsseldorf, in post war GDR and Western Germany.  What is fascinating is how the photographic image is the guiding light in his relation to trauma, to history, to the present but most of all, to...

In this episode, we explore the medium of photography through the lens - pun intended - of Daidō Moriyama's life work. We visited his exhibition at the Photographer's Gallery and we had very different experiences!  https://thephotographersgallery.org.uk/whats-on/daido-moriyama-retrospective Curators: Thyago Nogueira and Claire Grafik We chat a lot about what it means to look at street photography and what it might feel to be in the photograph itself. What if it was you who were on an...

In this third episode, we explore the work of Tania Kovats after having visited her exhibition "as above so below" at Parafin Gallery. We go back to her beginnings and appreciate how far she's come into her exploration of the elements, with a big emphasis on bodies of water. @kovats66 This is the first time we visit a commercial gallery for the podcast and there is some discussion about the advantages of visiting this type of exhibition...

In this episode, we explore the work and life of Philip Guston, after having visited his exhibition at Tate Modern. Talk about plot twists! Guston's life and exhibitions, even this last travelling one, caused tremendous controversy. But above all, it's his ability to question himself and follow his own ideas that really impressed us.

In this first episode of Exhibitionistas we look back on one of the most exciting exhibitions of last year, Marina Abramović at the Royal Academy. What better way to start a podcast than chatting about the retrospective exhibition of the grandmother of performance art? Music: Sarturn.
