Afterword: Contemporary Responses to Peploe

9th March - 23rd June 2013
Keiller Library, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art

The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art invited Third and Fourth Year Painting students to make artists' books in response to the work of S J Peploe. Students were asked to consider the exhibition of Peploe's work which opened to the public in November 2012 . The students could explore any aspect of Peploe's life or work and they could celebrate or subvert it.

From a strong submission of 29 students' work 16 books were selected and exhibited in the Keiller Library, a space that is specially designed for the display of books and archive material. The books offer a wide range of contemporary responses to Peploe's work and form an afterword to the main exhibition bringing fresh ideas about Peploe to the fore.
