Exhibitions and events included projects with Lindsay Benedict, Nikita Gale, Liz Linden and Jen Kennedy, Aviva Rahmani, and Heather Bursch.

In conjunction with solo exhibitions by Lindsay Benedict, Nikita Gale, and Heather Bursch, PARMER hosted a series of events, including Wikipedia editing sessions (Benedict), live tweet reading groups (Gale), and reading and discussion groups with Ben Davis and Coleen Asper (Bursch).
