MIKE PARR - ON MANUS ISLAND

2016

Visual Arts

Artist/s: Mike Parr

Campbelltown Arts Centre presented 'On Manus Island' a major commissioned artwork by Australian artist, Mike Parr.

Mike Parr is renowned as a visual, installation, printmedia and performance artist with a reputation to confront his audiences to respond physically and emotionally. Parr uses his body physically and endurance plays an important role in his practice. This exhibition takes a dramatic turn to this expectation to create a profound statement about the role of the artist and the artwork.

'On Manus Island' will see the transformation of the galleries to create a challenging, yet unexpected experience.

This exhibition will be held in association with a major retrospective at the National Gallery of Australia.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

We pay our respects to the Dharawal People who are the Traditional Custodians of the Land, whose deepening connection to culture and customs have cared for this Country for over 60,000 years. We acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging for their immense spiritual connection to place which was never ceded.

Dharawal Land has always been recognised as a meeting place for people from other Lands, and in this Spirit we respectfully continue this Tradition through the bringing together of our communities through arts and culture. Always was and Always will be Aboriginal Land.
