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.

Ghosts in the Machines
c. 2010 M. St.Mark

‘
Nameless strangers, identities forever unknown, frozen in time on their respective personal dream-like journeys – not only from A to B to perhaps visit friends, or on their ways home from work or play – but essentially also on their journeys through life itself. Though it is said the journey is also the destination; the human condition – the solid ghost condition – is that we seem always “on the way” somewhere …. the pertinent question perhaps being … do we ever “arrive” ?
