#16: Parra

Notable in 2010: Parra Show at Project Space, Arktip, L.A.
Why This Artist Makes Our List: Parra is responsible for 1. Always making us laugh, and 2. for creating the best artist collaboration footwear of 2010 (in the form of the Nike x Parra x Patta Air Max 1). The dutch artist opened the doors to Arktip’s Project Space in April and didn’t disappoint. Fun graphics. Fun lettering. Fun narratives. And fun legs. Lots of legs.
