Acclaimed choreographer Adam Linder presents a new performance exhibition titled Hustle Harder, commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA).

Adam Linder is known for creating work that is centred around stage and gallery space. His works are based on the histories and social codes that are present in a range of spaces across different contexts. Linder’s choreography represents image reproduction that transforms into a rich movement vocabulary, which he refers to as “virtuosic angling”.

A rotating cast of nine dancers perform during the MCA opening hours for Hustle Harder, highlighting the physical, durational, and collaborative dimensions of live performance. The museum space is the sole focus of the exhibition, as it is a creative realm for entertainers and the public to engage in art and architecture. In the museum space, each performer has a chance to prepare for the camera and build their own image.

Linder is based in Berlin and holds a unique outlook on choreography. He consistently works and experiments with different mediums across contemporary dance, music, visual arts, fashion, and education. Linder has been awarded the Mohn Award for artistic excellence for his exhibitions across the globe. His work has also been presented in Australia at Artspace, The National Gallery of Victoria, and with the Sydney Dance Company.

Head down to the Museum of Contemporary Art this month for the immersive and highly creative Adam Linder experience. The MCA is open from 10am six days a week, with free entry to the exhibition.
