Marcus Coates is a very unusual artist to say the least. I would definitely call him a performance artist. What he does is descends into the ‘lower world’ and consults the birds and animals that he encounters there. Usually they respond in cryptic clues; uncharacteristic behaviour is what he is looking out for, which he then does his best to interpret for his audience on his return. The videos that we watched of him were really wacky and I could not help but laugh. I'm not sure how much of art this is but it definitely has a little bit of comedy in it.
