Recent Episodes
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.

THE CARRIER BAG THEORY OF FICTION
It's a very very short text that can basically change your life.
With a simple shift in narrative, Le Guin demonstrates how we can totally change the STORY.
But... how does this apply to curating?

In My Art Tools (new segment) we look into 2 artists' tool box: what is their fetish instrument? Artists think with their hands. Let's get technical! The artist's hand will guide you through the passion of following one’s vision, the pleasures of trusting an instinct, and the resilience it takes to work creatively. Hosted by Joana P. R. Neves.
The guests: Anouk Mercier (UK + FR) and Marina Roca Díe (SP).
In an endearingly geeky manner, the answers reveal fantastic methods and unimaginable stories. A big plus: hilarious little incidents and big misadventures that lead to a breakthrough, or a new possibility.
What you get from this episode: Have you ever thought about the stuff art is made of? Wondered how artists make what you see in museums and galleries? How they train their hand, eye, body? Artmaking revelations, art techniques, lessons in resilience, art philosophies, ethical questions.

Art Insider is an interview segment with fascinating figures of the art field who lift the veil on their corner of contemporary art.
Guest: Ben Luke (Host of A Brush With)
Ben Luke is an art journalist whose voice reaches a wider audience through his successful podcast A Brush With, where each episode is dedicated to an artist interview led by him. His new book, What is art for? Contemporary artists on their inspirations, influences and disciplines (2025, Heni), stems from it. The scope of his questions is aimed toward building a good perspective on what artists look at, listen to, and where they draw their energy, inspiration and creative flow from. We discuss pop music and visual art crossover in the 80s and the boisterous 90s whose suppressed history Luke knows and shares brilliantly.
