About The Work
Soap operas, so named because of the products associated with their early sponsors, are open-ended narratives that relate weekly or daily dramas set in familiar interiors. Kalup Linzy's performance pieces subvert this traditional narrative structure to address issues around race and sexual identity and to generally poke fun at outmoded stereotypes.
This photograph depicts Linzy, in character, be-wigged and in drag, sitting in front of a mirror. It's impossible to discern what follows next but whether singing a slow, drawn-out Billie Holiday number or relating the latest trials of rural life to the neighbor next door, it's sure to entertain.
