"Joseph Grigely,
an artist and critical theorist
who became deaf as the result of a childhood
accident, is best known for exhibiting
compilations of scribbled notes written to him on
odd scraps of paper by friends and acquaintances
when he was unable to read their lips. Grigely's
"Conversations with the Hearing" usually take
place during noisy social gatherings-- at galleries,
restaurants, bars--where passing notes leaves behind
a visible residue of the ephemeral flow of cocktail-
party small talk."
