Linder, We Are The People Who Turn The World Upside Down (2026), Vinyl Billboard © Reece Straw
SO THIS IS REAL LIFE analyses the still vibrating traces of these events from an analogue age. Record sleeves, posters, badges, ephemera, fanzines and clothing all coalesce; rescued from sooty attics, fetched out of suitcases and wardrobes, or from dubious corners under beds. Released, blinking into the light, and let out to crawl like insects up and down the walls.
A specially commissioned, billboard-scale photomontage work by Linder – inspired by Raphael and the footballer Miguel Azeez – will be installed as part of the exhibition, which will also feature archive works by Linder from the mid-1970s, including evocative images from the celebrated Manchester gay/drag club, Dickens, and her famous photomontage work for the Buzzcocks’ Orgasm Addict record sleeve.
