Question 4

Consider David Wojnarowicz's Americans Can't Deal with Death and Glenn Ligon's Untitled (I Do Not Always Feel Colored). Analyze the artists' use of media and the manner in which each work addresses a cultural issue of its time.

Accepted Answer

Glenn Ligon's Untitled (I Do Not Always Feel Colored) speaks to the artist's own relationship to blackness. The work makes use of stencils to create text that allows the viewer to read them in his or her own internal voice. Ligon therefore puts his own voice in the work, as well as allowing the viewer to interpret the text in his or her own internal voice. In addressing the most highly charged issue, the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s, David Wojnarowicz used the formal means of advertising to channel emotions from his personal experience. His Americans Can't Deal with Death juxtaposes an exotic flower with tiny text that hints at his recognition and avoidance of Death.
