Whitney Museum of American Art Great interview w/ Glenn Ligon in Interview Mag. He discusses his experience in the Whitney Independent Study Program. http://tr.im/qDFk

Glenn Ligon doesn’t make work for easy reading. Whether they’re quotes on canvas or a film piece modeled on Uncle Tom’s Cabin, his tricky translations are about getting lost and getting found.


Alexis at 10:20am July 2
I've been curious about Glenn Ligon's work ever since he and Thelma Golden started the dialogue on the post-black artist.


Noah at 11:48am July 2
What the hell is a post-black artist? Would Michael Jackson be in that category?
