From R.A. Allen:
The
Return of Linderland officially opened on Friday
at the Cornerhouse in Manchester. As reported previously
it is a film and photographic representation of not
so distant similarities between the people of
Manchester and those depicted in spaghetti Westerns.
Linder pulls of a fantastic Clint Eastwood
impression in a few photos!
Incidentally, the camera work was credited to one
Aaron Starkie who could have been seen in the car
park behind Salisbury City Hall after the Morrissey
show travelling at speed in a shopping trolley,
while entertaining all with heartfelt renditions of
many a Smiths classic. A bright future for the boy!
The exhibition is on until May and the
Cornerhouse can be found on the corner of Oxford
road and Whitworth Street.
From Esteban:
The
Linder Sterling exhibition is running until early
May and I suggest that any one in the North west of
England visits it...
The images juxtapose gun-slinging cowboys against
modern day gun-slinging gangsters, with Linder
herself in the photos, dressed as Clint Eastwood,
puffing on a cigarello... a book may well follow
soon.

Perhaps she is responsible for the cowboy style morrissey as seen in her book Morrissey Shot. He looks a right sad bugger in a cowboy hat.
LOLA
