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 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]
