Malcolm Kenter

Malcolm Kenter, born 1987, lives and works in San Francisco, CA. His practice conceptually mines the urban vernacular, focusing on disappearing Bay Area signage, public infrastructure, and patina. Through precise sculptural processes, he replicates utility boxes, fire alarms, and overlooked city materials as acts of cultural preservation. Often installed in public space, his works interrupt gentrification, serving as subtle, lasting reminders of the city that shaped his community and aesthetic.
