* Update Feb 2015. Rob and Nicky Carter’s ” Unconscious Paintings” by an amazing co-incidence develop the same theme of accidental art created by unconscious human interactions. ( Released 3 months ( June 2012 ) after the above seminal London Dada Work, ( March 2012)… that was itself as far as we’ve researched the first artwork in history to employ the concept of unconscious art created through a process of accumulative unconscious physical human interactions over time.

* Update 2017; Turner Prize 2017 shortlisted artist Andrea Buttner’s entry;
“Smartphone glass finger smears” ( etchings from reversed photographs re-photographed / enlarged )

______________________________________________________________________

Ever wondered where the world’s wealthiest artist gets his inspiration?
Take a peek at the creative source material and overall concept Hirst blatantly & shamelessly stole for his recent   ” Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable ” show.

______________________________________________________________________

“Everybody goes, did you actually paint them? I don’t know why that’s important in art.

“If you live in a Frank Gehry house, it’s not important to you that he laid the bricks.

“And I see myself more like a kind of architect in the way that I make things, than a painter, even if I’m making paintings.

– Damien Hirst, March 2018

________________________________________________________________________

A new dilemma for Hirst is that with Treasures, he’s not even to be considered the architect, having stooped to stealing the original concept, title and even audio presentation mode of his Venetian show hook line and sinker from another artist… along with the familiar employing of skilled craftsmen forced beforehand to sign away any public claim to having made the objects in connection with DH.

So that leaves the world’s wealthiest artist defined as little better than a common thief – albeit with an impressive flair for business – yet in increasingly common knowledge, one virtually bereft of artistic talent or moral compass.
– M. St.M

Through-glass St. Paul’s text clarification;
Tagd I        “Glory to God in the highest house and on earth peace”
Tagd II    ” Jesus said “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations”

Through a glass darkly meaning.
“St. Paul talks in one of his letters to the church in Corinth (1 Cor. 13, 12) of ‘seeing through a glass darkly’. This basically means that whilst on this earth we can only have a poor glimpse of the Kingdom of God as if we are looking into a dark mirror (the ‘glass’) where the reflection is very poor ” –  Wikipedia

* Artist’s note. Conspicuous by their absence, perhaps in “holy communion” with themselves… any of St.Paul’s pampered clergy defending even the people who were there to pray, from being dragged down the steps by riot police. It seems to be more than these ecclesiastical windbags’ pristine white collar jobs are worth, to be seen acting like a good Christian, preferring, it seems, to only talk the Good Samaritan and empty the collection boxes God knows where to.

Although Graeme Knowles, the Dean of St Paul’s, stood down with immediate effect, saying his position had become ‘untenable’,  surely it would have taken only one true Christian from their midst to take a physical stand to join with the Occupy protesters on the steps to greatly boost the anti-corporate greed movement, not to mention enhance massively public esteem for the church and the Christian community worldwide.

But not a single person from St.Pauls or the church generally had the courage of their convictions to speak out in support of the obvious Christian values on show.
All fine preached words with no genuine Christian action to follow.

Body Poppers

( featuring distorted composite views through drinks glasses’ bottoms )
TAGD

Produced the following year after Through a Glass Darkly ( above) by M. St.Mark, employing first use in art of image-distortion by means of viewing through the bottom ( npi ) of a drinks glass.
The large glass-fronted  London Dada Galerie 691 Shoreditch,  displaying Through a Glass Darkly is but a short distance from the home of the two artists and from where they often sally forth on Sunday afternoon in-tandem walkabouts, documenting life in E. London.
