” According to Art Review, it’s the duty of artists to emphasise the importance of freedom of expression within their works” – BBC R4, 10am news, Thursday 13th October 2011

( Reporting on the leading UK contemporary art magazine’s reasons for the decision to give this year’s ” world’s most powerful artist” award to the Chinese dissident protest artist Ai Weiwei )
Compared with ” …it’s the duty of all artists to use their god-given enhanced perception
to include elements of shake-up/wake-up social commentary and protest within their body of work.”  Michael St. Mark, Monday 10th October 2011 ( 3 days previously ) on the LondonDada post for work 518 ” Cameron Double Double Talk “

Ms Highlights
They Who Have Seen the Light VIII- Ms. Highlights
Michael St.Mark 2011

This vibrantly color-coded girl was captured, as it were, wandering around  a large bargain store as if in a dream.
On checking out I commented to the cashier on her somewhat dazzling appearance, to be informed she runs her own hairdressers in town.
Daring to be a little different – respect.

What is art and what is not art?
c. 2011 Michael St.Mark

” Art is what you can get away with” – Andy Warhol

‘”The most important thing in art is The Frame. For painting: literally; for other arts: figuratively– because, without this humble appliance, you can’t know where The Art stops and The Real World begins. You have to put a ‘box’ around it because otherwise, what is that shit on the wall?”
― Frank Zappa
‘

“I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it. At the moment if I did certain things people would look at it, consider it and then say ‘f off’. But after a while you can get away with things.” – Damien Hirst

What, on the other hand, is Dada?
Don’t let them fool you into thinking it’s a nonsensical art movement. Far from it.

“ DADA is the burning search for a new morality” – C. W. Richard Huelsenbeck, co-founder of Dada, 1916.
