Gillian Jason Gallery is proud to sponsor 'Linder: Danger Came Smiling', a landmark exhibition at Hayward Gallery, celebrating one of the most radical and influential feminist artists of our time.
Linder's first London retrospective showcases 50 years of the pioneering feminist artist's work, dissecting our fascination with the body and its representation. From the early photomontages made while she was part of the punk scene of 1970s Manchester to new work in digital montage shown for the first time, the exhibition presents the breadth of Linder's artistic output across montage, photography, performance, and sculpture.
The body-and its evolving photographic representation, from early glamour photography to digital deep fakes-is central to Linder's approach to image-making. Often wielding a medical-grade scalpel, she harnesses the creative and violent power of the cut, dissecting our shifting attitudes toward aspirational lifestyles, sex, food, and fashion.
Supporting women artists has been at the heart of GJG’s mission, and Linder’s fearless exploration of gender, power, and representation continues to inspire new generations.
