Pete Glover: Junk Pirate May 29, 2010

The roots of exhibitions in America rest deeply on the notion of collecting and collections. Pete Glover's upcoming art exhibition, 'Junk Pirate,' harks back to a time when Charles W. Peale's American Museum began displaying a variety of items that were considered random objects of novelty. By presenting seemingly disparate objects from everyday life, Glover manages to form a cohesive and amusing gaze into American culture.
