Joseph Grigely: This Is Where We Are

This artist’s book by Joseph Grigely brings together his research, ideas and thoughts, as well as visual materials, on access ramps and his stairs/ramp (what is called a “stramp”) project designed for a space at the Palais de Tokyo as part of his solo exhibition ‘This Is Where We Ar’e. How does access become a responsibility for everyone so that it benefits everyone, and not just those who are deemed “disabled”? This publication, which contains an essay by Grigely on why designing a ramp is so difficult, explores the concept of accessibility, particularly through the architecture of spaces, and proposes rethinking the idea of access as a medium.
