He was born at
Witney,
Oxfordshire, in England. He was educated as an
architect at the Oxford School of Architecture, graduating in 1970. As the
founder of the
Alternative Miss World in 1972 (which he continues to run)
he became a key figure in London's cultural and fashion life. He notably
influenced film-maker
Derek
Jarman, whose early film-making work documented the social scene around
Andrew Logan and his studios at
Butler's Wharf, London. His studios were also
where
Malcolm
McLaren and
Vivienne Westwood staged the notorious
"Valentine's Ball" in 1976, at which the
Sex Pistols first came to media attention.
In 1991 a major
retrospective of his work was held at the
Museum of Modern Art, Oxford. The
purpose-built Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture, at
Berriew in the
Welsh Marches, now houses much of his sculpture
and painting. It is the nation's only museum devoted to a living artist. His
work is also in numerous museums and private collections around the world.
Since the early
Nineties, Andrew Logan has continued to exhibit his sculptures and jewellery all
over the world including
Saint Petersburg in Russia,
Lithuania, India,
Beverly Hills in Los
Angeles and Mexico. His work has been shown in and commissioned by international
galleries, including the
American Visionary Art Museum in
Baltimore, the Flower East Gallery in London, the
Victoria & Albert Museum, the
Hayward Gallery,
Bonhams, the
National Portrait
Gallery,
Sotheby
in London, the
Royal Academy of Arts, and
Somerset House.
In the new millennium,
Andrew Logan created jewelled sculptures for
The Magic Flute opera in
San Diego. In 2004, Andrew Logan's
eleventh
Alternative Miss World contest was held at the
Hippodrome in
London. He went on to give an Art workshop at the
Jaipur Heritage Festival in India.
Andrew Logan is also a
qualified yoga teacher and gave a Presentation of Yoga art show in London. He
then did a jewellery presentation with
Emmanuel Ungaro in
Paris.
In 2007, Andrew Logan
continues to be prolific, diversifying his talent in all mediums. In May, he was
invited to be part of the jury for a children's beauty contest in
Sochi. In July, his jewellery was auctioned at Halls Fine
Art in
Shrewsbury. In August, he
was invited by
Comme des Garçons to Tokyo and
Kyoto for their catwalk show, which was
inspired by his style and jewellery. He was asked to decorate a guitar for a
high profile charity auction held in London. In August, he was invited to
participate in three events in
The Big Draw: he collaborated with
Zandra Rhodes on
The Big
Picture Frame at the
V&A Museum of Childhood in
Bethnal Green, he gave a
presentation of his watercolours in The Newsroom at
The Guardian and in
Covent Garden.
In December 2007, Andrew
Logan attended a dinner party at
Zandra Rhodes' penthouse which was filmed by a
London-based photographer Ben Charles Edwards, entitled Eat Your Chiffon.
Andrew Logan's work
blends camp pop-art and neo-romanticism to form a
quintessentially English 'eccentricity
of vision'.
At the end, he were saying
people identify with humanity, with people, realism and people's stories. Look
for and portray emotions you understand, but have respect for your characters.
Remember to express yourself even if you have to justify yourself to your
tutors.

Chris came to us to talk about the role of the producer is, why is the producer? And how to become a producer. He taught production, as well as working in the industry.Producers film financing. It does not seem like a large-scale glamorous work. I can be a lonely role, some producers that the film belongs to them, others are just a hired hand. This is rare, because most people in the collection have a strong self.If you get it right, as a producer, can make you a lot of money. Producers day, will let you know, to the orientation of the partners, so what you want to align costs to share with the director, working side by side with each other. If both have the same vision, it can be fun and not so lonely.How to become a producer.As many cases, there are no easy answers. Chris explained that he started as a film critic, and said that this is the most ideal route. You can go to film school, it helps if you have a lot of money (not really, I want to hear!) Read the script, find one in your life, then, to inquire, get the ball rolling. Warring parties to meet the distribution, actors and camera. This, to me, although it seems a bit unlikely? You can also buy a cinema .....This seems to be 'is an example, which is not what you know ...... "to me.Producers can face a lot of adversity, the actors play and face a lot of financial problems. What you have to do for you, shows a lot of passion and the Cannes Film Festival in the world is the most exciting place, if you are a movie producer.Why, then, become a producer?It gives you a sense of accomplishment, especially when a movie is very good indeed. It provides creative pride, because it is so difficult and mentally challenging. It is not for everyone. As the work of a filmmaker, can often lead to the production of television, these two industries are often envious of each other. More and more people to do so.This is a fantastic job. If you have the money obviously! Again, it is a good conversation, but it seems a little presumptuous to assume all the students are sitting on piles of cash. I know that if I was, I was my own film produced and directed .
