Joseph Grigely

Born in 1956 in East Longmeadow, USA. Lives and works in Chicago.

Deafened by a childhood accident, Joseph Grigely addresses questions about the materialization of language, communication and disability, and how conversations can be represented in the absence of discourse. As a collector of words, documents and artefacts, he is also interested in archives, archiving practices and how they can be activated with formal and narrative meaning.
