SHIPS IN THE NIGHT
by Mike Parr
Performance: Thursday 12 March
Arrive from 7:30pm performance with Mike Parr commences 8pm
SYRUP Contemporary
20 Farr St, Marrickville NSW 2204
Mike Parr presents his second exhibition and performance with SYRUP contemporary, SHIPS IN THE NIGHT.
SHIPS IN THE NIGHT features large scale documentation of Parr’s performances from 1975 – 2006. In an act of speculative retrospection, a blindfolded Parr will exchange gestures with his historical body of work – recontextualising an archive of performance in dialogue with a living body on the precipice of becoming an archive itself.
Parr’s practice is known for his enduring and extreme durational performances testing the limits of the body and the will. Parr self-describes SHIPS IN THE NIGHT as a “history of disturbance” reflecting on art history and ideology, simultaneously cementing and destabilizing his own cannon. Through this excavation of his own narrative Parr exposes “ Performance’s capacity to activate and open the past within the present it’s versatility in addressing and transforming the experience of time as it is sensed and made into sense… it’s vital cultural and historical value” (Heathfield, Artists in the Archive” 2018. 98).
