Glenn Ligon: All Over The Place

Fri 20 September 2024 - Sun 2 March 2025

Fitzwilliam Museum

Alongside Ligon’s original paintings, sculptures and prints, All Over The Place presents a series of site-specific interventions curated by the artist throughout the Museum aimed at peeling back the layers of history and meaning to reveal a new perspective of the permanent collection.

From the installation of his large-scale neon Waiting for the Barbarians (2021) in the Museum's portico entrance to the artist’s commentary of select artworks and objects from the Museum's collection, Ligon describes the exhibition as a ‘thread that winds its way through the Fitzwilliam, loose in some places, taut in others, which the visitor can choose to follow or encounter serendipitously.'
