Parker Kay is a multi-disciplinary artist and writer currently working in Toronto, Canada. Kay’s practice investigates the systems and structures that operate within art, architecture, and communication theory.

Kay’s recent publications include A Cube Has Six Sides (2016) and 100 Ears: Celebrating 100 years of Dada (2017) in collaboration with Ed Slopek. Recent exhibitions include Toronto Reference Library (2017) TOWARDS (2016) Art Metropole (2015). In 2016 Kay also founded The Centre for Experimental Research, an open education and research organization focused on investigating the relationship between the Canadian landscapes and man-made architecture.
