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.

( “Spoil” as in spoiling consumers’ health )

Latest in the ” Conning of the Consumer” series.

Giant (one-meter ) matryoshka doll-style crisp bag pile, Tesco hyper store New Southgate London.
As with previous Work No. 939, magazine rack backdrop indicating the secondary yet vital component in pushing these damaging foods to the public; a complicit mainstream media.

Relates specifically to previous LD Work “Shaken Down ”

“Under the impact of violent changes, true artists, writers, scientists and philosophers become the revolutionaries of a realistic Utopia, awakened from the mere enjoyment of their crafts to the essential duties and responsibilities toward the community”.
– Moholy-Nagy
