The Speechbuster, commissioned by Storefront with the support of the Rauschenberg Foundation and designed collaboratively by architect Jimenez Lai and artist Grayson Cox, embarks on a journey through a series of stimulating spaces in New York City. For each residency, the performative, multi-function, multi-layer, Storefront gallery-sized table, inserts public debate within private spaces bringing the Storefront programming Series outside of the gallery space.
Grayson received his MFA from Columbia University in 2010. At graduation, he was awarded the Daisy Soros Prize to study in Salzburg, Austria, and was also featured in a show in Tel Aviv, Israel for recent graduates of MFA programs in the United States. He was born in 1979 in Indianapolis, Indiana, received his BFA from Indiana University and spent two years living and working in Tokyo before moving to New York City in 2005.
