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.

My Eyes Vacuum Bliss as I Read

.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES, it’s
time, it’s time for the most incredible
experience my body can endure. My eyes cannot
ingnite, my genitals no longer bristling cats
– empty instead with the growl of futility
I stare into the empty night
and garble “lusdghblvacjvoliub!”
very randomly as I gaze at the full moon.
