The Hayward Gallery presents the first London retrospective of acclaimed British artist Linder from 11 February to 5 May 2025. Offering an illuminating overview of this iconic artist’s 50 year-long career, the exhibition includes a selection of Linder’s trailblazing photomontages and explores the full range of her artistic practice, underscoring the experimental and feminist impulses of her thought-provoking work.
Danger Came Smiling presents the full trajectory of Linder’s artistic production, from the early work that grew from her involvement in the punk scene of 1970s Manchester to new works that have never been shown before. Linder’s distinct visual language is characterised by a playful irreverence, which investigates the sexual commodification of the female body within magazine culture in order to examine our shifting attitudes to aspirational lifestyles, sex, food and fashion.
