« The observer wrote about her novel Shadow-Box: ‘Fulminates with Vigor and assurance…It’s an enticing mismariage of worlds: Logue has a fluid, wide-ranging pen and creates hard-assed fight scenes as easily as languid recall of lovers’ first meetings »

Dan Tague
Dan Tague is an artist curator from New Orleans. After the catastrophic circumstances surrounding hurricane Katrina, Dan relocated to New York where he found a place to collect himself. A string of residencies ensued geared toward helping artists to reflect and process this experience. In this time from New York to California and now to France, Dan has focused his work inward into the imaginative world of heroes via movies and television. These campy scenarios, which offer a nostalgic vision of his adolescent icons, grapple with issues of a changing identity in the midst of continuing diaspora. He is reestablishing a home base in New Orleans.
