Five artists have pulled out of the Biennale of Sydney over the event's links to offshore detention centres following the death of an Iranian asylum seeker at Manus Island.

The move strikes a blow to the event, the biggest on the nation's visual arts calendar, which begins on March 21. It follows concern by another Biennale sponsor, the City of Sydney, over asylum-seeker policy.

The artists object to the Biennale's sponsorship deal with Transfield Holdings. The company has a stake in Transfield Services, which was this week granted a 20-month contract to operate a centre on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea. Clashes with security forces on the island this month led to the death of asylum seeker Reza Berati and left scores more injured.

Transfield Services also holds contracts with the Immigration Department to provide services at detention facilities at Nauru, including management, maintenance and perimeter security.

The five Australian and international artists - Libia Castro, Ólafur Ólafsson, Charlie Sofo, Gabrielle de Vietri and Ahmet Ögüt – said in a statement they were withdrawing from the Biennale “in light of Transfield's expanding management of Manus Island and Nauru immigration detention centres” and in response to the death of Mr Berati.
