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.

London Dada work 580; The iHuman Condition

The iHuman Condition
c.  Michael St.Mark 2011

 

TVam studio / office construction site, Camden.

Futuristic narrative on the ever-increasing volume and range of digital data streaming into our daily lives, which nonetheless remain strangely vacant and devoid of a sense of substance, being or inner security.
The incredible satellite dish (one of two) dominating the skyline and belittling the steel girder skeleton of its new build support, struck the eye as interestingly unusual and in an as then ( Dec ’11 ) vague sense promising some kind of sinister potential along social commentary lines; the image and its long deliberated-over title eventually coalescing.
The pic is cropped and altered in Picasa Pro by applying a top-down graduated tint to give the sky ( direction from which the infotainment stream arrives ) a resonatingly appropriate ominous feel.

Atrocity Exhibition ( Half pig man )
c. Michael St,Mark 2011

 

The stallholder, it emerges after a brief exchange, keeps his very own local organic pig farm. His proud boast “my pigs enjoy a happy life outdoors ”  impresses, then at his invitation to “try some rashers?” , we mention thanks-but-no-thanks,  we’re vegetarian.

” So are my pigs”.. he sneers through an evil smirk

Can’t believe its a whole year since our London Dada Valentine Special ” Bouquets for Wifey”
Definitely need to get out ( of this dreary & miserable little packed-out car-crammed run-down dumbed-down island ) more.
