Parker Kay
Parker Kay is a multidisciplinary artist and writer currently working in Toronto. Kay’s practice implements experiential research and qualitative mapping to explore how place-making permeates our lives and marks our landscapes. As an avid urban explorer, Kay has led walking and cycling tours with the Jane’s Walk Festival and the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA); he also has worked on projects with Myseum of Toronto and the Vancouver Biennale. Kay’s writing has been published in C Magazine, SITE, Cornelia, Peripheral Review; and he has exhibited at Modern Fuel (2020), Sibling (2019), Motel Brooklyn (2017), the Toronto Reference Library (2017), and TOWARDS (2016). In order to pursue more curatorial projects, Kay founded Pumice Raft, a not-for-profit artist-initiated space in Toronto. Kay is also currently a researcher and collections manager at The Archive of Modern Conflict and sits on the board of directors at Art Metropole.
