OccupationArtist

Liz Linden (born 1980) is an artist who makes conceptually-driven work in a variety of media including text, photography, performance, video, and installation. She also collaborates with writer Jen Kennedy to produce feminist public artworks.[1]

Education

Linden was born in Seattle, Washington and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. She received a BA in Literature with a concentration in Creative Writing from Yale University and then attended the Whitney Museum of American Art's Independent Study Program as a studio artist from 2008 to 2009. She received a PhD in Visual Art from the University of Wollongong in Australia in 2018.

Career

Linden's work began being exhibited in New York City in the mid-2000s, with her first solo gallery exhibition at the Buia Gallery in 2007[2] and since then participated in group and solo exhibitions and presented performance projects in New York at commercial galleries (PPOW, Murray Guy, Bureau[3], Cleopatra's[4]), non-profit art spaces (Art in General, White Columns) and major museums (New Museum, the Brooklyn Museum.) In 2017 Linden, with collaborator Jen Kennedy, presented their public performance work TELETHON at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.[5]

Linden's collaborative works have been written about in Art in America[6], Artforum[7], Hyperallergic[8], and elsewhere. Linden's works have been variously described as a Situationist International inspired critique of capitalism's "blurring of work time and leisure time"[7] as well as a feminist intervention into language that "highlighted contemporary feminism’s stakes in rethinking historical and temporal markers."[9]

Her work is in the collection of the New York Public Library's artist's books archive, The Center for Book Arts in New York, and the Hammer Museum's Grunwald Center in Los Angeles.

Linden also writes and teaches about contemporary art and popular culture. In 2022 she was one of a number of artists who contributed to an amicus brief in the Warhol v. Goldsmith case heard by the US Supreme Court.
