Professional Activities:
Peter works on individual projects and in collaboration with other artists. For twenty years, as a member of the artist collaborative group, “Art Attack,” he engaged in making pieces that questioned the domain and currency of personal authorship and the context of location. The group exhibited/performed/intervened in settings as diverse as PS.1, Artist’s Space, parking lots, abandoned houses and public spaces, and in public and alternative galleries and spaces in Berlin, Prague, Slovakia, Marseilles, Warsaw, Krakow, Chicago, Washington and New York. Peter’s personal work has ranged from forged steel, abstractly painted figurative sculpture, to “unarchitecture” structures of conventional building materials, to compositions of painted, fallen branches. His work is in private collections throughout the United States. Peter is a panelist on WETA’s Around Town where he reviews Washington area fine art exhibitions.
