Artists in Residence
Luke Fowler
This Trinity Term, we welcome Luke Fowler as our Artist-in-Residence. Luke is an artist, filmmaker and musician based in Glasgow. He has previously been a Jarman Award winner and has been nominated for the Turner Prize.
Combining aspects of structural cinema with documentary techniques, Fowler’s films shatter the limits and conventions of standard nonfiction filmmaking. Working with archival footage, 16mm film shot by himself and sound recordings made in collaboration with renowned sound artists, he complexly constructs and weaves these elements into film portraits of various “outsiders” such as radical psychiatrist R.D. Laing, experimental composers Cornelius Cardew and Martin Bartlett, Marxist historian E.P. Thompson or filmmaker Margaret Tait. Fowler’s own films and influences draw equally from experimental music, the Lettrist movement of the 1950s and 1970s independent cinema.
Fowler has cultivated a strong body of work that continues to rapidly grow alongside a multifaceted artistic practice that makes him one of the more dynamic and exciting artists working today.
