Visiting Artist Series: Erik Parker

Born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1968, Erik Parker lives and works in New York. Erik Parker is a self-appointed archivist of postwar New York Art, with an interest extending to music and performance. His paintings, which resemble drawings, are mostly made up of words: elaborate litanies of name, of people, of places and movements both familiar and famous, that evoke an era or a scene. Erik Parker has been included in numerous museum exhibitions such as "Nation" at the Frankfurter Kunstverein, "Painting Pictures", curated by Gys van Tyl at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, "One Planet Under a Groove" at the Bronx Museum, (traveling to the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis & Museum Stuck, Germany), and "The Americans" curated by Mark Sladen at the Barbican Art Galleries in London.
