Glenn Ligon: All Over The Place

Fri 20 September - 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.'

Funded by De Ying Foundation. With additional support from The Ampersand Foundation.
