Mike Parr: Give your fee to the refugees

Mike Parr b. 1945, Australia Follow +

Artspace, Sydney is currently presenting the exhibition 52 ARTISTS 52 ACTIONS (18 May–4 August 2019), which surveys Artspace’s ambitious, year-long online project running from January 2018–January 2019 highlighting artistic practice across Asia. The project commissioned 52 artists and collectives to stage actions in unique locations throughout the region and share them with global audiences online. The exhibition brings this rich collection into the Artspace galleries to address the social, cultural and political implications of working in the region and consider how art as action has the power to invoke change.

Building upon his action for 52 ARTISTS 52 ACTIONS, Give your fee to the refugees, Australian-born artist Mike Parr has produced an edition of 200 silkscreen print sets. Signed and numbered by Parr, the prints will be sold throughout the exhibition, with all proceeds going directly to the Asylum Seekers Centre (asylumseekerscentre.org.au). Print sets are on sale now at the gallery for $220 (incl. GST). To arrange a purchase online, or further information about the print sets, please contact Elyse Goldfinch on [elyse@artspace.org.au].
