The invective of Glenn Ligon’s tart neon signs — like the word “AMERICA” in reversed text as if seen from behind, or the deadpan “negro sunshine” written in white light — is a staple of the contemporary canon. Versions of both pieces are on view here, along with two new neon works that refer to the writer Toni Morrison and the experimental composer Julius Eastman. They feel dutiful. The show’s energy comes from Eastman, who gets co-billing with Ligon despite having died in 1990.

The show’s title,og777 casino which includes a racial slur, is borrowed from the title of Eastman’s underground-famous 1979 composition for four pianos.

It’s a blistering panegyric, and it resonates. Not only is the slur scrawled atop a framed copy of Eastman’s score, but it also appears on the David Zwirner website (52 Walker is a Zwirner space), on the catalog propped on the desk and in vinyl text on the front door. Eastman’s title, part of a series, remains a disorienting linguistic parry, invoking a shadowy racist stereotype, then transforming that fear into power.
