Joseph Grigely, Blah-blah-blah

In this artist's talk, he discusses historical issues related to the visual representation of conversation. Grigely teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). A traveling exhibition of his recent works, St. Cecilia, is on view at the MCA through February 22, 2009.
