Linder at Goss Michael Foundation.
Last Friday, I went to the opening of Linder at the Goss Michael Foundation in Dallas. First of all, if you have not been to the GMF, put it on your list of places to go…immediately! It is one of the places in Dallas that we, as a city, are SO lucky to have.
GMF is a non-profit contemporary art center with a focus on British contemporary art. They show new commissioned works by artists but what I often love the most are the works that they show from the stellar collection which belongs to the namesake – Kenny Goss and George Michael (yes, that George Michael).
Regardless of the conceptual side of Linder’s work (feminist perspective on the way the female body is portrayed commercially and in the media….which I love), the pieces are constructed beautifully; both through the elements of their design and collage to the physical construction of the light boxes. Sexxxxxy all the way around.
The exhibition is up through 31 January 2013. When you plan your visit, come see us at Dallas Contemporary as well….we are in the same hood. And if you haven’t heard we also have a couple of spectacular exhibitions up as well. K8 Hardy: September Issues and Inez & Vinoodh: Pretty Much Everything.
More info below straight from the GMF website.
Love you. Bye bye. xxxxoooo

From the Goss Michael Foundation website:
Linder’s show at The Goss-Michael Foundation will consist of a large group of her characteristic collages and new large-scale photographs displayed in light-boxes, each of which are part of the private collection of George Michael and Kenny Goss. Working in all mediums from music, to collage to performance and film to theatre and two dimensional art, Linder became known in 1976 as one of the main players in the Manchester punk scene.
In the late 1970’s Linder started using collage to juxtapose porn images with images of house appliances, or other desired objects, sharing the subversive practices of the punk movement. By mixing up fractured signals and messages out of context, Linder exposed the way social images are constructed. Her Buzzcocks ‘Orgasm Addict’ single sleeve which depicts a nude female body with mouths at the nipples and a household iron in place of the head is now considered an iconic symbol of the punk movement.
Since the 1970’s, Linder has consistently and uncompromisingly embraced radical feminist perspectives and explored the media treatment of the female body in particular. In the collages, photomontages and performances Linder has made since this time, she sets about recasting and colliding the ideals of commercially and culturally rendered expectations of gender-specificity and identity.
A major part of the show at the Goss-Michael Foundation consists of large-scale light-boxes with new montages, originally hand-spliced as before and then re-photographed. The use of the light-box gives these works the lush and tantalizing characteristics of advertising light-boxes, the emblems of our consumerist world that came to dominate the media and the landscape of the western world in recent years. Linder takes over this powerful tool of mass media and turns it to itself to expose socially and culturally reinforced norms and expectations of gender identity, sexual commodification and representations of desire.
