Talking Art: Glenn Ligon interviewed by Patricia Bickers

I went to see, I went to see "Logan's Run," right?
They had a movie of the future called "Logan's Run?"
There ain't no niggers in it!
I said "Well white folks ain't planning for us to be here!"

[Text work by New York-based artist Glenn Ligon.]

Ligon is renowned for works across a variety of media including sculpture, neons, drawing and painting that explore issues surrounding race, sexuality, identity, representation and language.
