Kalup Linzy: If It Don't Fit April 18, 2009

This is the first museum survey of the artist's work, which includes approximately 20 videos (narrative and music), and two drawing suites made over the last seven years. Known for the cast of comedic and dramatic characters he creates and performs, as well as for his original music and serialized narratives, Kalup Linzy (b. 1977) first presented his characters at the Studio Museum in 'African Queen' (2005), and then again in 'Frequency' (2005), a group exhibition of emerging artists. Since then, he has continued to create and star in his own videos, and work as a singer-songwriter.
