Mark Clark, American b. 1948 Honolulu, Hawaii.
Itinerant agricultural laborer, factory worker, bartender, petty criminal and art handler, Clark, in his youth participated any numerous demonstrations and riots, including the 1966 Sunset Strip Riot, the 1967 Pentagon March, the 1968 Nixon Counter Inaugural, the 1968 Washington DC race riot, the 1969 Chicago Days of Rage and the bloody Ohio campaign of 1970.  A pioneer in stencilled graffiti,  Clark developed and honed his skills with the SDS Weathermen and the Young Workers' Liberation League.  Expelled from college because his "presence on campus constituted a clear and immediate danger to the orderly functioning of the university community", Clark learned oil painting from his brother Michael, Kevin MacDonald, Joseph P. White and Robert Stark, while working as a janitor and art handler for the Corcoran Gallery, the New Orleans Museum of Fine Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and the National Gallery of Art.  He began showing his paintings and drawings in galleries and alternative spaces in the Washington area in 1978 and has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions in the northeastern United States.  In 2005 he moved to Brownsville, Texas, where he paints and runs Galerîa 409 on the north bank of the Rio Grande with his wife Betty.  He primarily did paint work with Art Attack.

Evan Hughes has been a core member of Art Attack since 1984. His background as a sculptor and furniture designer became an integral force in the architectural basis of many of the group's projects.

Writer, performer, rock star, educator, DJ, painter, photographer and sculptor from New York now living in London, Jared Louche is an artist who can't find the "off" switch. He's the conceptualist behind seminally influential Machine Rock cult band Chemlab and has recorded and toured with them for over twenty years. He's toured and recorded with other bands as well as in the role of poet and storyteller. He recently sound-tracked a collection of stories with Mark Spybey (CAN, Zoviet France etc). The album, 'the death of radio mars' was described as "a séance with Nick Drake conducted by Coil" by Wire magazine.

Louche's poetry and performances can be seen and heard all over. Where once they echoed through the CBGBs and Art Spaces of New York, Chicago and DC, London gets the lions share now. From the BBC to The Globe Theatre, Queen Elizabeth Hall to rock festival stages, Jared's writing continues to excite and irritate audiences across the spectrum.

Jared facilitates creative writing workshops in thousands of schools, universities, prisons and hospitals to great acclaim. He's run residencies for the National Gallery, Tate Modern and Tate Britain museums, British Council, The Barbican Arts Center and many others. He often runs workshops in collaboration with visual artists and musicians, all tricks he learned from his Art Attack days. He writes and performs poetry and stories for the BBC and the BBC World Service and often lectures on the importance of embedding artists into the National Curriculum structure in schools.

Jared paints sporadically, but never shows his work, burning it all every year instead. In '88 he published a terrible book of poetry entitled "A Handbook On How To Wreck Other Peoples Lives". In 2009 he was commissioned by the Whitechapel Art Gallery to write a gallery guide for them. The book, "Make It Yours", turned into a highly interactive guide for young people on understanding the basic concepts of contemporary art. His next book, an over-reaching, multi-media affair entitled "Unplugged Memories" is expected soon.

Peter Winant works on individual projects and in collaboration with other artists. For twenty years, as a founding member of the collaborative group, Workingman Collective, and as a core member of the group, Art Attack, he has engaged in making pieces that question the domain and currency of personal authorship, the context of location and the creative process. The groups' works have been exhibited/performed/intervened in settings as diverse as PS.1, Artist's Space, parking lots, abandoned houses and public spaces, and in public and alternative galleries and spaces in Berlin, Prague, Slovakia, Marseilles, Warsaw, Krakow, Chicago, Washington, New York, Butte Montana and the North Carolina Museum of Art. Peter's personal work has ranged from forged steel, abstractly painted figurative sculpture, to “unarchitecture” structures of conventional building materials, compositions of painted, fallen branches, and photographic documentation of responsive marks to the work of surveyors. His work is in private collections throughout the United States. Peter reviews Washington area fine art exhibitions as a panelist on public television station WETA's Around Town
