Linder Sterling’s works persistently interrogate of the fragile boundary between seduction and disruption in visual culture. Working across photomontage, performance, sculpture, photography and video, ‘Linder’ (as she is known professionally) produces a searing visual critique of consumer culture, gender norms and the rhetoric of glamour. Since her early interventions in the late 1970s Manchester punk scene, she has wielded scissors and glue (and now digital tools) as instruments of satire and critique. In London 2025, Linder’s first major retrospective in the capital—Linder: Danger Came Smiling at the Hayward Gallery (11 February–5 May)—presented over fifty years of her practice, bringing together landmark works from Orgasm Addict onward, and debuting new photomontages deploying deep-fake and digital collage techniques. The show travelled as a Hayward Gallery Touring exhibition, later appearing in venues such as Inverleith House in Edinburgh. During the same period, Linder premiered A Kind of Glamour About Me (2025), a performative work staged first at Mount Stuart on the Isle of Bute and later in Edinburgh’s oak lawn, combining dance, tapestry, music and her visual lexicon in a poetic enactment of identity and transformation.
