The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don’t go back to sleep.

I have come gradually to understand that the liberal arts cliché about teaching you how to think is actually shorthand for a much deeper, more serious idea: learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience.

You can see this right now at the Fort Worth museum of art (and some at the Blanton in Austin). So powerful.
For Coloring: New Work by Glenn Ligon, the artist has created new work that draws on an era of continuing personal fascination: 1970s America. It was a time of burgeoning racial consciousness among African Americans, whose new self-awareness reverberated in numerous everyday cultural manifestations. Ligon has chosen images from mass-produced, black-themed coloring books of the early 1970s and reproduced them as large-scale silkscreens on canvas. His use of vibrant colors in these works is a startling change for an artist known mostly for his black-and-white compositions.
In an interview with LACMA, Glenn Ligon discusses the controversial queering of Malcolm X, painted by a child with blue eyeshadow and pink lipstick. Heroes, its seems, have lost their significance, or else the inherent historical tensions lessened by time and ignorance. Ligon cites that the image of Malcolm X, once a powerful catalyst for discourse, is not reducible to a postage stamp.
