Linder
‘We Who Are Her Hero’, photomontage, 2006
Linder, born Linda Mulvey in Liverpool, was a key member of Manchester’s underground punk scene, most famously designing sleeves for the Buzzcocks. In addition to sculptural and performance work, she has been producing collages and photomontages for some 30 years, mixing scenes from porn with old women’s magazines and pages torn from shopping catalogues. As a dishevelled youth, she became fascinated with the intensity and prettiness of ballet dancers, despite having never been to the ballet herself. Her solo show at Stuart Shave/Modern Art closes on December 21. Feature continues
