Glenn Ligon: Late at Night, Early in the Morning, At Noon

Glenn Ligon transforms words into a vibrant plastic matter, capable of shaking our certainties. A major figure in conceptual art, he uses language to dissect the structures of power, identity, and race that govern our daily lives. From January 15th to April 4th, 2026, the Hauser & Wirth gallery presents a selection of his works where stencils, projections, and performances intertwine. His works don't just have to be read; they physically impose themselves, making visible the social and personal tensions. The artist proposes a constant dialogue between aesthetic elegance and critical radicality, inviting each person to rethink how words shape our reality. This selective retrospective brings to light an endless creative obsession, where text becomes a space of resistance and profound transformation.
