KALUP LINZY, a video and performance artist known for his playful personas around gender, sexuality, race, class, and popular culture, will lead the audience into rapture. His concepts are fused into his delightfully raunchy videos and performances Conversations Wit De Churen, Diva in Distress and All My Churen. Multi-tasking as a writer, director, actor, and editor, his film approach recalls the early styles of John Waters, Andy Warhol, and George C. Wolfe. Using multi-layered characters and subplots that weave through the works, he constructs powerful critiques of the laws of romance and desire, family and trust, truth and hypocrisy. He manages to go for the jugular with uproarious humor, while at the same time his keen sense of truth is unwaveringly present. We the viewers are forced to confront the ways we deal with our own yearnings and acknowledge the dirty little secrets that everyone knows.
it/EQ's Tragic Bride/Fashion Victim, a full installation performance event integrating art and social space while crossing gender divides, exposing interpersonal experimental narratives, and creating spiritual/healing rituals. From the carefully composed invitation to marry and tie the knot to invocations, projected images, meditative spiritual transformations with music, clothes, and performance, to enacted rituals of healing, meditation, and trance-work that carries the spirit onward.
