For the past three decades, Joseph Grigely’s work, as an artist, scholar, and activist, has reframed the disabled body as an enabled body by empowering it to question who has access to what, who is denied access to spaces, places, and people, and how this impacts all of us.
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 Are. 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.
