The Identity of Glenn Ligon

Wednesday night I went to the opening of the Glenn Ligon show at the Whitney Museum. Taking over an entire floor, Ligon's vast body of work is the result of 25 years of maneuvering and reacting to the political and ideological tenets imposed on a gay black man in America. "America" is in fact the title of the show, perhaps referencing his works' comment on collective, as well as personal, experiences. This show is definitely an important one, and worth a trip uptown.
