Linder Sterling: What Linder Saw

EAN/UPC/ISBN Code 9783865604583


A skeptical, sexy maternity ward nurse staring at a rose-headed father; a French maid with another rose for her head, down on her knees with the vacuum; a trio of mermaids watching a rose-headed scuba-diver swim near... This smart and brightly subversive collection of 12 slipcased postcards by the radical, Feminist, Manchester punk artist, performer and musician Linder Sterling (born in Liverpool in 1954) is published on the occasion of her first solo show--at Linn L hn gallery, Cologne. Known for her collaged work, for the past 30 years Sterling, also known simply as Linder, has been creating photomontages that combine imagery from men"s magazines and the objectification of women. By juxtaposing and overlaying nude figures with oversized flowers, cakes, cameras and sewing machines, she creates striking and graphic compositions, employing objects generally associated with domesticity to highlight and challenge notions of power, femininity and consumer culture.
