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.
In 2022/23 she had work commissioned and shown at Turner Contemporary, Margate, the HattonGallery, Newcastle, Somerset House, the Whitechapel Gallery, Matt’s Gallery, Paris Photo, PhotoLondon, as well as a solo show with England & Co at Frieze Masters. In 2023 she was commissioned to make a major work for the Norfolk and Norwich Festival In Search of the Miraculous, with a resulting exhibition at England & Co in London and Reflect, a lightwork, for Lumiere, Durham. She currently has work showing at Women in Revolt! at Tate.
“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.”
