> DESCRIPTION
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. The portion of the exhibition presented at the Orange Lounge includes two additional works; Remembering Is a Difficult Job, But Somebody Has To Do It, 2005, an installation with artificial palm trees, a projected image of water and a small monitor on which the artist is questioned about the music he remembers before he was deafened and sings the lyrics to the Gilligan's Island theme song, and a second audio and visual work that includes people mispronouncing the name of the artist, Ed Ruscha.
