Summary:

Otherhow brings together four decades of writings, lectures, interviews, and documentation of work by the artist Joseph Grigely. Deaf since the age of ten, his art and writing have long questioned and made use of various modes of communication--photographs, handwritten notes, lipreading, newspaper headlines, paintings, and TV captions--to examine and scrutinize the ableism embedded in cultural and media production. From his brilliant series of postcards addressed to Sophie Calle, where he began to formulate a theory on the intersection of disability and art, to his epic lecture "On Failure," which brings together the poet Keats, "the first woman of fly tying" Helen Shaw, and the filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky to the same table for a conversation on beauty, Grigely's writing is erudite, but clear; righteous with fury, but dryly humorous.
