Joyce Pensato: I KILLED KENNY : Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, St. Louis, MO
Joyce Pensato: I KILLED KENNY, the artist’s first museum survey, brings together new and recent work with seminal earlier pieces. The exhibition features a monumental site-specific mural of pop-culture icon Mickey Mouse as well as charcoal drawings, key paintings, and collages made between 1990 and the present. The title, I KILLED KENNY, invokes the vernacular of South Park, framing Pensato’s visual vocabulary within the cartoon’s sardonic wit and cultural critique.
