Joseph Grigely

Joseph Grigely (born 1956) is an American artist and writer, known for his work in conceptual art, installation, and sound. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, San Diego, and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Grigely's work often deals with themes of communication and language, as well as the intersection of the visual and auditory realms. He is perhaps best known for his series of installations and sculptures featuring conversations and written correspondences with people who are deaf, which he began in the mid-1980s. These works explore the ways in which communication occurs and is perceived beyond traditional modes of speech and hearing.

Grigely has exhibited his work extensively in the United States and internationally, including at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Documenta X, Kassel; and the Venice Biennale.
