Glenn Ligon at Hauser&Wirth


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Best known for his text-based paintings, celebrated American conceptual artist Glenn Ligon has created new works for his first solo exhibition in Greater China. The display includes a continuation of his Stranger paintings, a new abstract painting series titled Static, and a series of untitled drawings on Kozo paper. These works all use excerpts from James Baldwin’s landmark essay ā€˜Stranger in the Village’ (1953) and exemplify the artist’s radical use of text to explore the politics of culture and identity.
