Joseph Grigely | Artist Talk

As part of The Extended Mind exhibition, join us for an Artist Talk with American artist and scholar Joseph Grigely. Deaf since the age of ten, Grigely has built his practice around the note papers hearing people have written on in the course of conversing with him, creating installations that explore the often overlooked embodied aspects of human communication, and examine its potential and limitations.

With American & British Sign Language Interpreters.
