The Stuart Semple show invites contemporary artists for an intimate conversation about their craft.

American sculpture artist Tom Sachs joins episode 3 of The Stuart Semple Show to discuss his art, his workshop, and his dislike of reproduction snobbery. Everything is up for discussion in this hour-long art podcast.

Stuart Semple and Tom Sachs bounce ideas off each other about the power of cleaning, the question of whether originals have an aura, and even the egalitarian power of cryptocurrency.

This episode covers:

Cleaning as a form of meditation
Fake Stuart Semple paint in China
