Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary art installation features a minimalist design with a clean, serene atmosphere. The predominant colors are neutral tones of gray and white, creating a calm and contemplative mood. The artwork on display consists of two framed text pieces and a photographic work depicting a striking close-up of a bird's face. The text pieces appear to be simple statements or phrases, allowing the viewer to ponder their meaning and interpretation. The photographic work, in contrast, introduces a more figurative and symbolic element, drawing the viewer's attention to the bird's intense gaze and expressive features. The overall style and technique showcase a refined, conceptual approach, where the artists have carefully curated the elements to provoke thoughtful contemplation and engage the viewer's senses and emotions. The contextual background suggests the artwork may explore themes of introspection, the natural world, or the relationship between humans and the environment. ...

Artist

Marcus Coates

B.1968, British

Marcus Coates was born in 1968 in London, UK. Coates lives and works in London. By exploring the lived realities of people, animals and nature, Coates attempts to understand how we relate to each other and the world around us. Coates re-enacts states of being - a process of radical empathy - to question what it means to be alive now, our history and future. His motivation is to create, examine and critique relational tools. Sometimes, these explorations move beyond the limits of conventional language. Coates’ approach is often functional with a social and ecological impact in mind. He works collaboratively, bringing in members of the public, individuals, organisations and institutions, as well as experts from a wide range of disciplines. These include: anthropologists, ornithologists, wildlife sound recordists, choreographers, politicians, psychiatrists, palliative care consultants, musicians and primatologists. Together with Coates, they seek answers to questions about humanity, the natural world and the cross overs between them. He exposes the disconnects within us and the societies we have created. New ways of relating are proposed and put into practice. ...
