Mike Parr
Born 1945

Mike Parr (b. Australia 1945) studied arts and law at the University of Queensland from 1965 to 66. He then moved to Sydney, and in 1968 briefly studied painting at the National Art School. In Sydney in 1970, together with the artist Peter Kennedy, Parr established the Inhibodress Cooperatirve Gallery, which was devoted to performance and conceptual art. Parr is now recognised as a highly significant artist, and while his practice encompasses a broad range of media, he is best known for his performance works. Parr has made extensive use of photography and video to document his performances and creatively represent them in exhibition spaces.
