Leor Grady is an Israeli-born visual artist, working and living in NYC.

Interdisciplinary in nature, his site-specific works explore themes of home and identity politics. Through drawing, installation, and video art, he subversively reposition everyday objects, concepts and experiences to imbue them with poetic meaning.

The materials and techniques he uses are for the most part simple and basic. The works created are reflective environments within which he can explore the dynamics of the personal and the public, between an individual and another.

His work has been shown in the US and abroad, at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC, Rush Arts Gallery, Exit Art Gallery and Center for Book Arts in New York City, as well as in public and private collections and in various publications.

My favorite work by Leor is "In Order of Appearance",3:35min,single channel video,2006

It's a short video list of people in order of their appearance in his life. It follows the cinematic format of credit scroll, concluding with credits to cities, places and times.

The piece is currently on view at the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian institute in DC. Check out a review of the piece here
