On Truth, Intention, and Art

This episode documents a conversation centered on the question of truth in art, not as authenticity branding, but as method, intention, and consequence.

Moving through museums, painting, graffiti, stand-up comedy, and conceptual practice, the discussion examines how honesty operates differently across contexts, and why certain work feels inert while other work carries weight. The conversation resists conclusions, focusing instead on how artists orient themselves toward making without defaulting to performance, moral signaling, or visibility.

Themes include:

• Truth versus honesty as artistic strategies

• Intention, ego, and authorship

• Cultural context and German directness

• Public work, graffiti, and responsibility

• Fear-driven production versus commitment-driven practice

This is not a debate or an argument. It is a recorded moment of thinking between artists attempting to articulate standards for their own work.
