Linder

Linder est connue pour ses photographies, ses photomontages et ses performances qui déconstruisent avec audace les stéréotypes de genre, les désirs libidineux et les actes transgressifs. Figure incontournable des scènes punk et post-punk du Manchester des années 1970 et 1980, elle fonde le groupe Ludus en 1978. Elle se fait remarquer dès ses débuts avec le photomontage provocateur réalisé pour le single Orgasm Addict des Buzzcocks, combinant des images issues d’un catalogue Argos et d’un magazine érotique français. Son travail mêle toujours humour, engagement et tension visuelle, à travers des images glanées dans des sources aussi diverses que la presse pornographique, les revues de danse, les livres de recettes ou les guides d’horticulture. Dans ces montages, les éléments domestiques et floraux agissent comme des voiles : ils occultent les visages, censurent les actes explicites, et cadrent les corps nus à travers le prisme des objets du quotidien, révélant une friction entre érotisme, pudeur et matérialisme. En ce sens, ses œuvres activent des associations inconscientes entre les canons de la beauté et le désir de vivre ; corps et objets y cohabitent, générant un antagonisme constant entre attirance et répulsion. À d'autres moments, Linder fait de son propre corps une surface à découper, un support plastique soumis à des gestes radicaux. Elle s'inspire des artistes dada berlinois de l'Allemagne de Weimar, notamment les collagistes Hannah Höch et John Heartfield, ainsi que des surréalistes comme Ithell Colquhoun. Figure incontournable de l’art féministe au Royaume-Uni et à l’international, Linder explore depuis plusieurs décennies les mécanismes de marchandisation qui lient consommation, désir sexuel et normes sociales. Son travail met en lumière les rouages invisibles des rôles assignés et des fantasmes collectifs.

Linder est née à Liverpool en 1954. Elle vit et travaille à Londres. Elle a inauguré en février 2025 une importante rétrospective intitulée « Danger Came Smiling » à la Hayward Gallery de Londres qui bénéficiera d’une itinérance à l’Inverleith House, Édimbourg; Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea et à la Grundy Art Gallery jusqu’en septembre 2026. L'exposition itinérante « Linderism » a été montrée en 2020 à Kettle's Yard, Cambridge, avant d'être présentée à la Hatton Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne. Son exposition personnelle « Femme/Objet » organisée en 2013 par le Musée d’art Moderne, Paris a ensuite été montrée au Kestner Gesellschaft, Hanovre. Son travail a fait l’objet d’expositions personnelles à Charleston, Firle (2022); Modern Art, Londres (2019); Glasgow Women’s Library (2018); Nottingham Contemporary (2018); Chatsworth House, Derbyshire (2018); The Hepworth Wakefield (2013); et à la Tate St Ives (2013). Elle a participé à des duo-show ainsi qu’à des expositions collectives à dépendance, Bruxelles (2022); Tate Liverpool (2021); the Royal Academy, Londres (2020); Camden Art Centre, Londres (2020); the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Édimbourg (2019); et à la Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen (2019). En 2017, elle a reçu le prix de la Fondation Paul Hamlyn. Les œuvres de Linder font partie des collections du Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris; Victoria & Albert Museum, Londres; Arts Council Collection, Londres; the DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Art, Athènes; the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; MoMA, New York; et la Tate, Londres.
