Anne Bean
In a monograph on her work, Self Etc., 2018, the writer Dominic Johnson wrote: Anne Bean is a noted international figure who has been working actively since the 1960s. The art of Anne Bean makes strange our sense of time, memory, language, the body, and identity, particularly through soloand collaborative performances along a vital continuum between art and life.
Anne Bean is a London-based artist working with sculpture, installation, sound, photography, painting and drawing. Her artistic practice has been pivotal in the development of live and performance art in the UK. Captivated by process and collaboration Bean works as the ‘space-between’ - a receiver, receptor, and conjuror. These strategies enable her to plug into time and timelessness. Since 1970 Anne Bean has presented solo and collaborative projects, worldwide
Recently, her work was shown at Tate Britain, Somerset House, the Whitechapel Gallery, Matt’s Gallery, Turner Contemporary, the Hatton Gallery, Paris Photo, Photo London, Venice Biennale, Modern Art Oxford as well as a solo show with England & Co at Frieze Masters. In 2024, a performance was commissioned for Venice Performance Art Week and a new film on Bow Gamelan Ensemble (1983-1990), was funded by DACS Recollect programme which premiered at Tate, 2025. She received a Paul Hamlyn Foundation award, 2024.
“Reading Anne Bean’s CV is like following a continuous performance, a continuous response to the world… a ‘magicification’ of the world. The panoply of places she has worked, times of the day ornight, interiors, exteriors, seasons, publics, materials, concepts, tools, is astonishing: all shifting butall attuned to unique situations.”
