Linder, Orange
Silk, photomontage, 2006 |
31.
LA DANSEUSE – FOX TROT BY DELMA LACHNEY AND BLIND UNCLE GASPARD,
1929 REMIX: LINDER, ORANGE SILK, 2006 Linder’s photomontage is part of a new series of works returning to the medium that she began to work with 30 years ago. As she explains “In selecting images from the ballet annuals and rose catalogues of the 1950s and early 1960s, I also re-encounter my younger self. I see her as a young girl in Liverpool, entranced by beatnik women with black-lined eyes and pale pink lips.” The photomontage uses the cigarette burn ‘blind’ eye technique that she first used in the 1970s, at that time she replaced the burnt eyes with other people’s eyes, thirty years later the rose seemed more appropriate. Since the second half of the 1970s, Linder has been exploring the capacity of collage across a wide range of media, including performance, photography, print, photomontage and costume. Her work has been exhibited at Cleveland Gallery in London, Cornerhouse in Manchester and in 2006 she was part of the Tate Triennial. A monograph of her work to date entitled ‘Linder Works 1976-2006’ was published by jrp/ringier in 2006. www.stuartshavemodernart.com |
