Hannah Wilke & Linder @ Alison Jacques

Presentation of a two-person exhibition pairing, Linder with Hannah Wilke.  Both artists are recognised as pioneers, provocateurs and radical feminists with work spanning photography, performance, photomontage.  In Wilke’s case, sculpture and drawing.

Raising shared questions in their individual practices around gender, the portrayal of women’s sexuality against domesticity, and the commodification of the body, both Linder and Wilke openly criticise the conventional female roles and representation specific to each of their generations.

For Linder, this exhibition focuses on photomontages from 2007 to the present, in which she explores the possibilities for subverting the deeply encoded narratives sold through pornographic magazines of the 1970s–80s. For Wilke, some of the works here focus on her subversion of consumer fantasies developed through commercial advertising of the time.
