Danger Came Smiling is the first London retrospective of the pioneering feminist artist Linder Sterling – more commonly known as Linder.
The body and its photographic representation, from early glamour photography to digital deep fakes, is central to Linder’s approach to image-making, dissecting our fascination with the body and its representation.
Often working with a medical grade scalpel, she draws on the creative and violent power of the cut in her forensic examination of our shifting attitudes to aspirational lifestyles, sex, food and fashion.
From the early photomontages made while she was part of the punk scene of 1970s Manchester, to new work in digital montage shown for the first time, this exciting exhibition presents the breadth of Linder’s artistic output across montage, photography, performance and sculpture.
ALSO SHOWING AT HAYWARD GALLERY
Also showing at Hayward Gallery during this period is All About Love a celebration of the work of the contemporary African-American portrait artist Mickalene Thomas.
A single Hayward Gallery entrance ticket grants access to both exhibitions.
