ARTSPEAK RADIO Live- Hello 2017!!

Maria talks with performer/comedian Susanna Lee (Lucky Deluxe), artists Rodolfo Marron III & Silvia Beatriz Abisaab, artist Misty Gamble, attorney/Mudstomp Records founder Don Simon, and Intelligent Sound Collective’s Peter Anthony.

Susanna Lee (Lucky DeLuxe)-Come celebrate the grand opening of the Outburst Performance Gallery with Susanna Lee (Lucky DeLuxe!!) Lee is a standup comic, storyteller, writer, and patron saint to provocateurs everywhere. She now also owns The Outburst Performance Gallery. Over the past decade, her shows have explored areas of life that others don’t dare touch. Her charm, honesty, and wit make stories from the darker side of culture, society, and sexuality not only palatable, but distinctly significant. In 2016, she sets aside her persona (Lucky DeLuxe) for a more elemental show, guaranteed to fill 60 minutes of your life with a connective experience you can’t find anywhere else. Susanna Lee has been seen on Girls Behaving Badly, Viceland’s Party Legends, and, for a quick second, Last Comic Standing. She’s performed in the Chicago and Bridgetown Comedy Festivals, and held a headlining spot in the 2013 New Zealand Burlesque Fest. She produced and starred in a webseries, Peeping Comics, and the subsequent documentary Perv, which was featured at the 2015 LA Comedy Festival. After watching her perform for his 93rd birthday, Norman Lear affectionately asked “where do the tattoos end, and the daddy issues begin?” She has excellent table manners, and is fully housebroken.

The Outburst Performance Gallery is Kansas City’s newest place for offbeat, cutting-edge entertainment. Located in the Crossroads district, an epicenter for progressive arts, The Outburst regularly showcases multiple performance arts genres, including stand-up, spoken word, solo shows, storytelling, live music and more.

The exhibition “¿Qué Pasa, USA?” features the work of eleven artists and takes its name from the late 1970s bilingual sitcom of the same name.

Closing Potluck + Roundtable

Join us for the closing of ¿Qué Pasa, USA? We will host a potluck lunch along with an informal roundtable on place, shifting communities, immigration, and belonging. Artist Rodolfo Marron III will share his family history and experience as a resident of the Westside (Kansas City), where he was born and raised, reclaiming this currently gentrifying neighborhood that informs his identity and artistic practice. Born in Lima, Peru and raised in Miami, Florida, ¿Qué Pasa, USA? artist Carlos Ortiz-Gallo will discuss the immigrant experience, its impact on his art making, and his process of translating personal narratives into nuanced accounts of collective displacement.

Rodolfo Marron III is a native to Kansas City, he and his family have resided in the Westside since the early 90’s. As his family shares strong ties to the Mexican community in KC, Rodolfo the third works to strengthen and share his own roots to the area where he was raised. As a visual artist his work ventures into his families legacy and that of his own. Calling back to his cultural background, he integrates old and new language to carve a space that embraces his heritage and present it in a fine art fashion.

Peter Anthony talks about jupiter DIY, Intelligent Sound, LIGHT+SOUND, focused on showcasing and uplifting a community of Musicians Creating Electronic, Hip-Hop, Downtempo & Instrumental Music and the Intelligent Sound Artist Collective.

Intelligent Sound is a Kansas City based record label and artist collective that focuses on and showcases musicians creating electronic and experimental music. We release music monthly and hold numerous events around the midwest that offers musicians and artists a platform to showcase their crafts and talents. Anthony estimates the Intelligent Sound roster at around 40 artists, with about 35 of them from the Kansas City, Lawrence and Topeka areas. He doesn’t do anything as official as signing them; he prefers to think of the group as an organic collective whose members share music (via a private Facebook group) and support one another.

Intelligent Sound Artist Collective offers rentable studio spaces for 6 local visual artists, as well as a venue that engages and supports local artists to show their work, musicians to perform live, provide public classes, workshops and events in the historic West Bottoms of Kansas City.
