The drag-queen diva Taiwan, a major character in Linzy’s soap-opera series “Conversations Wit De Churen,” will perform for the first time an acoustic set with accompanying guitar.
Kalup Linzy (b. Clermont, FL, 1977) is best known for a series of videos that parody the melodrama of soap opera television. The artist plays the majority of the characters himself, primarily in drag. Linzy has had solo exhibitions at the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York, Parisian Laundry, Montreal, Canada, LAXART, Los Angeles, and PS1 Contemporary Art Center, New York. In 2005, the artist received a grant from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation and in 2007 was honored as a Guggenheim fellow.
Presented by Taxter & Spengemann. Part of Lust Weekend.
