Mark Flood

Marcel said that he used the technique of mechanical drawing to escape cubism's windowless cell.

Likewise, an artist of today misuses new technology to envision the prison-farm of digital media.

Did you know that while we sleep at night, dreaming of politicians and sexual misadventures, Google logos keep evolving?

I breed these monster-Googles because Google contains us.

SomeGooglebody, someGooglewhere, knows everyGooglething about everyGooglebody, all the Googlefuckingtime.

Some of their hair turns into scales, some of their hair turns into horn, and some of their hair turns into feathers.

Google murder-suicide, Google civil war... Skull emoji, sad emoji, Search a little more.

In other possibly creative developments... My lace-painting mural confuses the women's march with the Dionysian women's mysteries of ancient Grease.

Another work assembles a critical mass Of vintage pics of Garbo's face. My assistants never heard of her.

Lastly, an average Deutsche Bank logo is tortured on the rack until it reveals an image of a dragon in a cage.

All I can say for sure is there will be places to sit while we consider forming opinions.

Thank you, Mark Flood, 2017
