Joseph Grigely Biography

Joseph Grigely is one of the most popular and richest Photographer who was born on December 16, 1956 in Longmeadow, Massachusetts, United States. Joseph Grigely (born December 16 1956) is an American art and academic. His work is predominantly conceptual and involves a variety of forms of art, such as video, sculpture as well as installations. Grigely was featured at the Whitney Biennials (2000 in 2000 and 2014) as well as an Guggenheim Fellow. He is a resident of Chicago and is professor of visual as well as Critical Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

As scholar, Grigely’s research covers a variety of subjects, including textsual criticism, exhibition studies as well as body criticism. As a textual critic his most important book includes Textualterity: The Art of Theory and Textual Criticism and was released in 1995 by the University of Michigan Press. Textualterity explores the role of art as dynamic objects and how they are created, destroyed and remade when they are re-presented in contemporary society. Textualterity contests the long-held notion of the ideal text or ideal state and replaces it with the notion that what is ideal in studies of texts is actually what happens.

In exhibition studies, Grigely has published a number of texts in recent years. Among them is the book Exhibition Prosthetics (Bedford Press and Sternberg Press, 2010). “Exhibition Prosthetics” is a descriptive term given to an array of printed media that function to expand the reach of both art and art exhibitions: press releases, catalogues, announcements, and wall labels. A related book by Grigely, based on a series of incremental exhibitions he organized in an atrium setting, is MacLean 705 (Bedford Press, 2015).

In the field of body criticism Grigely’s work emphasizes ways the disabled body is an enabled body. His “Postcards to Sophie Calle,” originally published in the Swiss periodical Parkett and reprinted several times, is considered a seminal text in disability studies. More recent publications that have dealt with the optical turn in deafness include an essay on the deaf artist James Castle, another on Beethoven, and a critical essay on “Soundscaping” that appeared in Artforum in November 2016.

In his capacity as an artist Grigely is a participant in more than fifty solo exhibitions and over 250 group shows from 1994. His shows are the Whitney (2000 and the Whitney (2000,), Berlin (2001) as well as the Istanbul (1997) Biennials and solo exhibitions in The Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin (2009 1998, 2009) and The Whitney Museum of American Art (2001) The Orange County Museum of Art (2007), The Tang Museum, Saratoga (2008) and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (2008) and Kunstverein Hamburg (2016). Grigely has also shown on the Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris 2001; Metz 2011, 2011), Kunstmuseum, Bern (2002) and The Guggenheim Museum, New York (2004) as well as The Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven (2005) as well as the Musee of Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (2000). A comprehensive survey of the work of Grigely was published in Joseph Grigely: St. Cecilia edited by. Ian Berry and Irene Hofmann. Baltimore & Saratoga Springs: The Baltimore Contemporary Museum and the Tang Museum, 2007. In 2004, he received at the time an Artadia Awardee.

The conversations with the hearing consist of notepapers hearing people have written on in the course of conversing with Grigely. These papers are saved and archived and are used as the raw material for creating narrative art: the papers are pinned to the wall in deliberately placed juxtapositions as a way of drawing from the papers both a verbal narrative and a visually abstract one in the form of a grid. Grigely is sometimes considered a proponent of Relational Aesthetics; he was included in Nicolas Bourriaud’s show “Contacts” at Kunsthalle Fribourg in 2000 and “Touch: Relational Aesthetics in the 1990s” at the San Francisco Art Institute in 2002.
