A Raft of Auks (2017)

Marcus Coates, Apology to the Great Auk (2017).

For A Raft of Auks, the three invited artists developed works in response to little-known flat earth lore suggesting that the Great Auk is not actually extinct but resides beyond the edge, on the other side of the flat earth. Through performance, audio, installation, radio, and video, an extended life is imagined for the Great Auk.

Artists:

Marcus Coates, London, UK; The Last Great Auk and Apology to The Great Auk

Yvonne Mullock, Calgary, AB; Great Auk Sanctuary

Michael Waterman, St. John’s, NL; Radio Flat Earth
