Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
In “It Takes All This to Be Me,” his first solo project since 2007, Kenton Parker transports viewers to the City of Angels’ hardscrabble streets with work that swallows then vomits mainstream cultural imagery, subverted with aggressive visual and textual commentary.
With his wacky installations, films, sculpture, and wall-based works, the artist channels multiple roles, such as the vagrant, the journalist, the graphic designer, and the taco vendor. Expect to see Parker’s miniature replica of his fully-functioning L.A. taco shop and a pair of stunning, mouse-sized installations nibbling at the edges of consumer vanity.
