Luke Fowler
Luke Fowler (born 1978) is an artist, 16mm filmmaker and musician based in Glasgow.[1] He studied printmaking at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design[2] in Dundee. He creates cinematic collages that have often been linked to the British Free Cinema movement of the 1950s.[3] His para-documentary films have explored counter cultural figures including Scottish psychiatrist R. D. Laing,[4] English composer Cornelius Cardew[5] and Marxist-Historian E. P. Thompson. As well as portraits of musicians and composers he has also made films and installations that deal with the nature of sound itself. Luke Fowler has worked with a number of collaborators including Eric La Casa,[6] George Clark and Peter Hutton, [7] Mark Fell,[8] Lee Patterson,[9] Toshiya Tsunoda,[10] and Richard Youngs.[11] He collaborated with guitarist Keith Rowe and film maker and curator Peter Todd on the live sound and film work The Room.[12]
