“Younger Than Jesus” artist Luke Fowler is profiled by journalist Moira Jeffrey in Scotland on Sunday on the occasion of his new short films Anna, Helen, David, and Lester being screened on BBC Channel 4’s “Three-Minute Wonder” slot beginning on April 20. From the text:
The relationships between people and the thorny question of what drives them emotionally and creatively have led to a remarkable series of films by Fowler about artistic and social experiments including unconventional portraits of the Scottish psychiatrist RD Laing, the idealistic English composer Cornelius Cardew and the elusive rock musician Xentos Jones.
The Channel 4 commission is part of Fowler’s 2008 Derek Jarman award. Co-sponsored by Film London, the award recognises work in the risk-taking spirit of the late avant-garde filmmaker. The judges, who included the artist Isaac Julien and the writer Ali Smith, singled out Fowler’s “vision and ambition”.
“The recognition for a body of work is quite incredible,” he says. “You are your own harshest critic and I didn’t think I’d ever really produced anything of significance. People in Glasgow have always been very reserved with feedback. They don’t want you to get a big head.”
