LINDER STERLING リンダー・スターリング
Presented by CHANEL Nexus Hall
Linder's work continues to provoke, inspire, and redefine representations of women in art and culture
Linder Sterling (b. 1954) is one of Britain's most influential and iconoclastic contemporary artists.
Emerging from the late 1970s punk scene, she is celebrated for her radical use of photography and photomontage to challenge and reimagine ideas of desire and the female body. This selective retrospective, developed in close collaboration with the artist, brings together key works and series that trace the evolution of her groundbreaking practice. Linder's distinctive visual language draws on the spirit of Dada artists such as Hannah Hoch and Man Ray, as well as the dreamlike
provocations of the great Surrealists, while being wholly contemporary in its attitude and outlook.
This will be Linder's first major exhibition in Japan. Building on the momentum of her recent retrospective at London's Hayward Gallery, the presentation affirms Linder's position as one of the great feminist mavericks of the British art scene, whose work continues to provoke, inspire, and redefine representations of women in art and culture.
