Two films by Luke Fowler
Luke Fowler is a Glasgow-based artist and musician who has exhibited at Becks Futures and the Tate Triennial. His films tend to delve into nooks and crannies of cultural history, using a subjective approach to documentary which highlights gaps and contradictions. Pilgrimage From Scattered Points (UK 2006, 45 mins) is a portrait of composer and musical activist Cornelius Cardew, one-time Stockhausen disciple and founder of the Scratch Orchestra. Piecing together snatches of interview and rarely-seen archive footage, the film builds a complex account of a heady, pioneering time which quickly disintegrated into friction and infighting during the 70s. Also showing is What you see is where you’re at (UK 2003, 30 mins), which uses a similar approach to explore the ‘anti-psychiatry’ techniques of RD Laing and the Philadelphia Institute.
