Hayward Gallery will present a retrospective of British artist Linder in 2025
Pioneering artist Linder will unveil her first London retrospective, pushing artistic boundaries at the Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre in February 2025.
The Hayward Gallery is set to unveil a milestone event in the art world with the announcement of the first London retrospective of the pioneering artist Linder, scheduled from 11 February to 5 May 2025. This exhibition will provide comprehensive insight into the illustrious career of the British artist spanning five decades. Linder's body of work, characterised by its provocative nature and feminist undertones, has left its mark on the art world.
Linder's journey to prominence began amidst the revolutionary punk and post-punk scenes of the late 1970s, where she made waves through her iconic album covers for Buzzcocks and Ludus. Her distinctive style, blending mundane imagery with provocative visuals from pornography, revolutionised the artistic landscape. The photomontage on Buzzcocks' single Orgasm Addict, created by Linder, remains an enduring emblem of the punk ethos, showcasing her unparalleled ability to merge rebellion with artistry.
Linder's artistic journey goes beyond her punk beginnings, branching out into various mediums like fashion, music, performance, and film. Throughout, she maintains a deep connection to cultural critique, using wit and satire to question stereotypes. Her work also explores the complexity of identity, drawing inspiration from various sources such as religious art, surrealism, mysticism, and social media. The upcoming retrospective will showcase Linder's influence on the art world and her dedication to expanding artistic expression.
This exhibition will be presented alongside Mickalene Thomas: All About Love.
Date: 11 February - 5 May 2025. Website: southbankcentre.co.uk.
