Gord Peteran, an artist living in Toronto, has been designing site-specific works of public art and furniture for the past 25 years. His innovative work has been shown in many exhibitions in the U.S. and Canada. Peteran describes woodworking and metalworking as his "paints and brushes. They possess the appropriate physical resistance and wield the kind of sensual, visual impact that allow my investigations to become real." Gord Peteran: Furniture Meets its Maker catalogs the first large exhibit of his work, traveling from Milwaukee to four other museums in the U.S. and Canada. Best of Show, In-HOWse Design Competition, How Magazine   “During the design period, the book was reconceptualized in consultation with Gord Peteran. It is no longer a simple perfect bound softcover, but a uniquely bound hardcover book. 4 different high-quality papers are used in the book, for text, photos, and duotone pages separating sections. Finally, there are 15 fold-out sections up to 5 pages wide to illustrate the text and document the works of art in the exhibition. The value of the book increased far more than the price, as it is now not only a documentation of Peteran's work, but an artifact in its own right.”--Martin Sovik, Milwaukee Art Museum Distributed for the Milwaukee Art Museum Glenn Adamson is head of graduate studies in the Research Department of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and former adjunct curator at the Milwaukee Art Museum.
