Marcus Coates

27 Jun-5 Aug 2007

Whitechapel Gallery
London E1 7QX

Overview

Baying at a gathering of baffled Liverpudlian housewives dressed as a reindeer, Marcus Coates has also adopted the psyche of a seal and trained people to mimic the dawn chorus. His deadpan yet curiously poignant films recall the animal cults of pre modern societies.
