In Conversation: Mike Parr. In The Phenomenology of Blood in Performance Art

Research output: Book Chapter in Bookpeer-review

Abstract

Mike Parr was born in 1945 in Australia and grew up in rural Queensland. His practice encapsulates significant periods including performance works and language experiments that sit equally alongside his extensive work as a printmaker. Across 1971 to 1972, Parr established Inhibodress, an artist cooperative and alternative space for the development of performance art. Here, Parr began what he would continue to develop throughout his career, as a vast, ongoing body of works exploring the psychoanalytic, social self with thematic focus upon time/space, identity, memory, disability and states of being. In the 1980s, he became disillusioned with performance art but would return to it from 2002 onwards to express the urgency of wider human suffering.
