Kalup Linzy

@ Gallery 400

400 S Peoria St, Chicago, IL 60607

Opening Wednesday, March 9th, at 5PM

Kalup Linzy is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice includes videos, performances, and music. His satirical narratives—inspired by soap operas, telenovelas and Hollywood melodramas—deal with race, sexuality, gender, class, and the art world itself. Serving as writer, director, cinematographer, editor, and actor, he performs, often in drag, a series of memorable, defiant characters. Simultaneously salacious and poignant, Linzy’s works fuse dramatic intensity with melodramatic irony and gut-busting comedy.
