In partnership with Opening Nights at Florida State University, John Ensor Parker will be the Chain of Parks Art Festival presenting artists. Parker is a Brooklyn, New York, and Cagliari, Italy-based inter-media artist and curator working in painting, drawing, interactive design, lighting, video, sound, and large-scale projection mapping. He has created large-scale public art installations at The New Museum, The Manhattan Bridge, Wyly Theatre, AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, and The Yards in Washington D.C., among others. Parker’s Mechanical Engineering degree from FAMU-FSU College of Engineering provided the foundation for his journey with art. On Thursday, April 13, LeMoyne Arts will host a reception highlighting Parker’s work — he will discuss “Art & Science” and how both are one in the same.
