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.

Work 445; House of ZigZag

House of ZigZag
c. Michael St.Mark 2007

Although featured in  “Snippets”  on our Youtube channel, and from 2007; ” House of ZigZag
makes its first appearance as a definitive London Dada Work. The Merzbau-like house concerned surely lived up to its title … doors ill-fitted to already oddly angled frames as if by a drunk; walls and floors alarmingly out of kilter and  windows amply ventilating interior rooms – even when closed.
Quite a trip.

Short clip of “found” rural rustic accidental music. The video artwork is designed for you to repeat until the complete interactive Musical Grates sonata in DADA major is found within yourself ( earplugs optional ).
