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.

This scultpture works well on different levels, ranging from child-like wonder and delight at the scale of the paper boat construction in itself, through the rather surreal and preposterous positioning of such a huge origami vessel into a small garden pond; to an invitation to question our preoccupation with absorbing the mental concoctions of the media in the formation of a flimsy and temporal paper boat “reality”, when all around is such vibrancy of colour, beauty and depth of space.

Have a cyber wander over the pond to ponder the wondres of a Dada/absurdist plot to topple the world’s governments. DADA YOW ! our bombastic DaAaistic brothers Stateside.
A labyrinthine juxtaposition of all manner of mashed-up sanity and lunacy.

Work 259, Alien watch 1


Alien Watch 1
c. Michael St.Mark 2006

The Rt.Honourable John Hutton MP ( Analogue TV screen image in digital manipulation )
Secretary of State for Work & Pensions

Television image, 29/10/06

Agenda items

1) The head is clear because the heart is closed.

2) Human evolution on other planets is different.

3) Mass transmigration of millions of these souls from other planets in the universe to earth is now evident.
( Majority of corporate business & media excecutives and MPs  etc )

4) Emotional disablement.

5) Highly intelligent/efficient in a small field.

6) Perfectly intact ego-self almost untinged by compassion towards others which they are incapable of fully feeling.

7) Dangerous to others and to the planet because of absence of genuine philanthropy – merely a convincing pretense; masking essentially self-serving motivation.

So. Why are the aliens coming here?  – “they say ” to learn something not possible on their native worlds – balance of head & heart.
