Following in Italian Footsteps

Owen Logan, participating artist in our ‘Another Country’ exhibition, author, and Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Aberdeen, will speak about the origins of fascism in the 1930s, and its seductive power in politics and the arts internationally. Logan argues that the spirit of fascism survived humiliating military defeat in 1945, and that the threat of fascism, within democracy, and by consent, now poses specific challenges to egalitarian politics, as it does to orthodox thinking about culture and the value of the arts.

Owen Logan is Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Aberdeen. He is co-editor of Contested Powers: Energy and Development in Latin America (2015 Zed Books); Flammable Societies: Studies on the Socio-economics of Oil and Gas (2012 Pluto Press). Between 2010 and 2014 he co-edited the Glasgow based Variant magazine devoted to cross-currents in culture. He also co-curated The Kings Peace: Realism and War (Stills, Edinburgh 2014). As a photographer his publications include Masquerade, Michael Jackson Alive in Nigeria, with Uzor Maxim Uzoatu, (Altered Images/Stills 2014); Bloodlines – vite allo specchio, foreword by Tahar Ben Jelloun, (Cornerhouse 1994); Al Maghrib, with stories by Paul Bowles, (Polygon 1989). His projects have toured internationally and his pictures are in several public collections including the Scottish Parliament.
