Exhibitionistas │Art–Culture From All Angles

*Art Topic*
For some, colour is subjective, for others it's vital. In contemporary art, it opens up a world of possibilities. Curator Joana P. R. Neves welcomes María Castro Jímenez, whose Substack page "Pigments, Colours & Other Stories" reveals new pathways into art history, art making and creativity. Perfect for artists, ideal for polymaths, superb for creative souls and idyllic for those who enjoy a mix of prehistory, archeology, chemistry, anthropology and magic. Ultimately, this is the best podcast creativity!

Art Story is a shorter episode exploring an art work, an artist, an exhibition or even a concept through a proudly subjective narrative. 
Narrated by: the host, Joana P. R. Neves

Have you ever been under the irresistible spell of an art work? Joana explores an aesthetic shock involving a tongue twister and a photography by Roni Horn in a busy art fair. Maybe you’ll jump into the flow, maybe you’ll be touched by Joana's devotion to the art, the feeling, and the inscrutable nature of certain contemporary art attractions.
