Friend of the star, Linder at the Tate Gallery, London. From their website Linder: The Working Class Goes to Paradise Saturday 1 April 2006, 19.30–22.00 Part of Tate Triennial 2006: Live Events Linder stages a new version of her ritualistic, durational performance. She founded the post-punk group Ludus in the late 1970s, and her work explores the relationship between society and the outsider figure. The Working Class Goes to Paradise involves the participation of three rock bands, who play simultaneously for four hours, while women perform movements drawn from eighteenth-century Shaker manuals.

"She was a woman with many admirers. Her life was punctuated by breathless visits from weird, intense, besotted foreign men demanding she do something for their cultural happening. They were dispatched by wealthy, foreign men who were even more weird, besotted and intense than their envoys. I will arrange everything, they would write, but you must take the next train to Utrecht...
Later, the dark continent of her own experiences and anxieties lead her to Reichian therapy, mystical feminist literature such as the Wise Wound, and Rebirthing. Her collectors's eye and keen aesthetic sensibility showed in her projection of her own physical image. Feminist but never Puritan, Linder was big on weird, messy sex (what else, my dears, would you expect from such a Weird, Sexy Mess?). In conjunction with longtime collaborator, photographer Christina Birrer, she was doing arty, vintage underwear and pale, shadowy flesh years before Madonna and Gaultier, only Linder kept her underarm hair. Then she did blood, she did meat, bandages, squealing, primal catharsis-stock vocabulary of performance art, but presented in a new! sexy! context. After this, all that remained were bodybuilding and baby-making. So she did those too."
