Joseph Grigely: St. Cecilia
october 7 - january 6, 2008 Deaf since childhood, artist Joseph Grigely explores the nuances between seeing and hearing a musical performance in his new installation, St. Cecilia. The project, named after the patron saint of music, features two single channel videos with footage of the Baltimore Choral Arts Society singing three traditional Christmas carols with new lyrics written by Grigely to convey what he calls “lip misreading”--identical lip formations that produce dissimilar sounds.
