Conceptual artist Glenn Ligon. PAUL SEPUYA
“Glenn on Glenn” is a talk that brings together two legendary contemporary art titans, Glenn Fuhrman and Glenn Ligon, in an intimate dialogue. The pair will be in conversation at The Church in Sag Harbor on Friday, July 28, at 4 p.m.
Ligon is a renowned artist whose work “Skin Tight,” 1995 is featured in “Strike Fast, Dance Lightly: Artists on Boxing,” the exhibition currently on view at The Church, while Fuhrman is the founder of The FLAG Art Foundation, The Church’s exhibition collaborator for the show. The two will discuss art, life and boxing as a metaphor in contemporary art.
Ligon is a conceptual artist whose work explores race, language, and identity across a variety of media, including painting and neon, and has had numerous exhibitions both nationally and internationally. Fuhrman is the co-founder and co-managing partner of investment partnership, Tru Arrow Partners, and the co-founder of MSD Capital, where he served as its co-managing partner for over 20 years. The two Glenns are from different ends of the art world spectrum, though their shared passion and respect for art, as well as their tremendous careers, tie the two legends together.
Tickets for the talk are $25 at thechurchsagharbor.org. The Church is at 48 Madison Street in Sag Harbor.
