The Battle of Ideas in 2011 at The Royal College of Art, London hosted a panel debate around the subject of Intentionalism and Intentism. The panel included poet George Szirtes and Professor Emeritus of UCL John Sutherland.
Intentism is an international art movement that includes artists, writers, actors, musicians and philosophers. We all share the belief that the meaning of the work is the outworking of intention. We further maintain that in rejecting authorship and intention much creative work has become anemic and indifferent. Consequently, our work celebrates intention by leaving a creative trail of the editorial process behind in the finished piece.
