Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a simple white background with a framed text centered in the composition. The text reads "4 NOVEMBER" followed by a poetic description: "In fields, vast numbers of money spiders cover the grass with threads of silk." The minimalist style and use of typography as the primary medium suggest a conceptual or text-based approach to the artwork. The artist likely intends to evoke a contemplative mood or convey a deeper message about the relationship between nature, money, and human existence through this concise yet impactful piece. ...

Artist

Marcus Coates

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. ...
