Michael Stevenson presents Glenn Ligon
Glenn Ligon explores race, language, sexuality and gender
Ligon’s work engages social and personal histories, memories and the ways in which groups and individuals are represented – revealing the complexities and subtleties of social constructs of race, language, sexuality and gender.
The exhibition in Cape Town brings together new and recent works that speak of encounters with or in Africa. Three new paintings from the Figure series continue Ligon's investigation of James Baldwin's seminal 1953 meditation on otherness - ‘Stranger in the Village’ - about his time as the only black man in a small Swiss town.
Ligon will exhibit concurrently with Anton Kannemeyer and Zanele Muholi.
The gallery is open from Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 17:00pm and Saturday from 10:00 to 13:00.
