About Michael St.Mark

Conceptual / experimental multi-discipline artist, writer and photographer. Art influencer and founder of London Dada, recalling Dada's original aims and principles as envisaged by it's founder Hugo Ball. Eschews the often politically-motivated taboo on expressions of critical thought within art. Admiring Duchamp in going beyond the seemingly endless infatuation with the ' pretty picture' retinal and instead refusing to accept the standards and practices of an established corrupt art world and creatively stifling conventions that are still considered essential to attain fame and financial success: refusing to repeat himself or to develop one recognizable style to placate the commercial needs of the market.

___________________________________________________________________
Terminally tired signage ( vital ) on junction 24 of the M25 London Orbital in Hertfordshire.
On the verge and beyond, of legible. In this condition and difficult to read at speed for at least 6 months without repair and doubtless causing stress and confusion to thousands of motorists not familiar with the area, where it’s essential to at least determine the eastbound from westbound carriageways.

Purport
____________________________________________________________________
Symbolic of the condition of the UK generally coming to the end of another year of directionless government and a population mostly rendered likewise tired and directionless, being hampered by infrastructure neglect, overcrowded underfunded transport, housing, NHS & social services along with viciously-enforced petty legal restrictions and regulations as the icing on the shitcake

UPDATE; January 10th 2018
Result! Signage finally replaced with newly made-up larger version.
Not only saddled with dragging art into the 21st century in terms of reconnection with everyday life and current street level issues in society, seems London Dada has to kick- start the lazy Highways Agency signage dept’s ass into shape to boot
