“Younger Than Jesus” participating artist Luke Fowler opens a solo exhibition at London’s Serpentine Gallery on May 7. Here is the press release:

The films of Luke Fowler explore the limits of documentary film-making. Innovatively combining new and archival footage, interviews and photography with a densely layered soundtrack, his work is also a critical response to the idea that documentary can offer a single objective truth.

Fowler’s meticulously researched subjects include vanguard thinkers and counter-cultural figures, such as R.D. Laing, Cornelius Cardew and Bogman Palmjaguar. Collaboration is a key element of his process and he moves fluidly between the roles of artist, curator, historian, film-maker and musician.

A central figure in Glasgow’s vibrant art scene, Fowler won the inaugural Jarman Award 2008 for artist film-makers, presented at the Serpentine Gallery. This exhibition is the first major survey of the artist’s work to date.

  2. Analyzing about a great product and service which comes at such high selling price irritates all of us sometimes. In the end I can not afford a lot of those high-class pieces on the market. Having said that I appreciate dreaming about it and whenever feasible I enjoy the small delights of your life. Once you are part of people who can readily afford expensive product or service simply go for it. I reckon that life is about having a good time, what else?
