Press Release
EXILE is very happy to present a solo exhibition by Amsterdam-based artist S.M. van der Linden. Curated by Oliver Koerner von Gustorf, the exhibition is entitled The Depressiva Revolutions and is part of this year’s edition of Curated By.
In her films, video installations, paintings, sculptures and performances, Dutch artist S.M. van der Linden (born 1952) deals with female role models and the power and representation structures of a capitalist society that is constantly concerned with self-optimization. In particular the artist is interested in how the body, sexual attraction and romantic relationships are fetishized as status symbols and transformed into commodities. In van der Linden’s work, the “economy of narcissistic reward” is a central motif – a system in which individuals are motivated to perform and consume and compete by external validation, admiration and status, often at the expense of real social or emotional bonds and genuinely felt empathy.
