DUCK DONALD! is an 8x6 work on paper adapted from a larger work of mine done for a 9/11 exhibit at Exit Art Gallery in Soho and now in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian in Washington. The original was made of found bits of ephemera (vintage booklets on how to behave, get along with others, tall buildings, and ducks,) school texts on safety during the (last) Cold War bomb threat, a postcard with Twin towers, period headlines, an old check, an airplane silhouette, Howdy Doody with an American flag and various bits of text. On the outside are direct quotes from Trump. Somehow in this Trumpian COVID-19 Nightmare, the piece seemed worth adapting with the addition of new edge copy. Holed up in my lock-down shell, I feel like Bert the Turtle all over again. And my reality check? Overdrawn. This was written by the Exit Art curator for the original exhibit: "Exit Art, an alternative gallery space in NYC, mounted Reactions: A Global Response to the 9/11 Attacks, in January 2002. The works reveal a wide variety of social, cultural, and emotional reactions to the terrorist attacks, the same- sized works expressed strong feelings--grief, fear, anger, hope, patriotism, even strong antiwar sentiment." Still applies, I think.

From the New York Times:"Peter J. Ketchum knows how to get the viewer's attention. Shown widely around the country, his pictures commingle colors, people, situations, commentary and mediums in a manner that is provocative, funny and to the point. Attempts to pigeonhole the work as Pop, folk, cartoon, mixedmedia, collage, anthropomorphic, or merely strange tend to fall short of the mark!" Five works were included in 35 Artists of North America, curated by Thomas Krens, former director of the Guggenheim Museum. Ketchum received a degree in fine arts from Colby College and did additional study at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. He studied privately with George Baer. The New York City based artist's work is in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institute, The Norfolk History Museum and Colby. It has been shown at the Brooklyn Museum, The Bushnell, The Springfield Museum of Fine Art, and The Discovery Museum. The artist has shown in solo and group shows in Boston and NYC, including Exit Art, Lumina, SOHO 20, HERE, the Williamsburg (Brooklyn) Art Center, Real Artways,the Charter Oak Cultural Center and TNC Gallery. Curators and/or gallery owners who have shown his work include Ethan and Ivan Karp (OK Harris, NYC), Susan Dunne (Pace NYC), John Klein (The Aldrich Museum) and Matthew Druitt (The Guggenheim.) www.peterjketchum.com www.saatchionline.com/PeterKetchum
