Meaning to Glue

Meaning to Glue: A Collage Invitational

by Cory W. Peeke

Meaning to Glue: A Collage Invitational is an exhibition catalogue featuring profiles of the eleven artists that were part of “Meaning to Glue”, held at the Nightingale Gallery, Eastern Oregon University, 13 January-3 February 2012. The catalogue is introduced with an essay by collagist and Nightingale Gallery curator, Cory W. Peeke. The lineup includes Oregon collagists Ian Clark and Tsilli Pines, internationally recognized artists Andy DuCett, Fred Free, James Gallagher, John Hundt, David King, Hope Kroll and Michael Pfleghaar, as well as relative newcomers Robert McKeown and Joshua Stringer. A two-page spread is dedicated to each of them, depicting two to four images. Some spreads are completed with a comment on the process, written by the artist. The book concludes with biographies of each artist.

Kolaj Magazine reviewed the catalogue in Kolaj #1.

We wrote in our review:

“Being a prolific collage artist himself as well, Peeke’s point of view on the topic provides an interesting perspective. Cogent when going through a brief history of collage and its relevance in contemporary art, he’s even more interesting when he is commenting on the process. His insight regarding the act of juxtaposing images is particularly strong.”
