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.
