Career

Linder's independent works started with a series of performances called Choreographic Services (2013–2018). The first in this series, Some Cleaning (2013), reinterpreted cleaning gestures into a sequence of choreographed movements. The series concluded in 2018 with Service No.5: Dare to Keep Kids Off Naturalism, presented at the Kunsthalle Basel.{{Cite news |date=6 February 2019 |title=ADAM LINDER FULL SERVICE |url=https://www.mudam.lu/de/expositions/details/exposition/adam-linder/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190206175342/https://www.mudam.lu/de/expositions/details/exposition/adam-linder/ |archive-date=6 February 2019 |access-date=16 March 2025 |work=mudam.lu}}

In 2018, during his residency at Callie's in Berlin, Linder developed The Want. This piece explores desire through an interaction between a client and a dealer, inspired by Bernard-Marie Koltès's play In the Solitude of Cotton Fields.
