Anne Bean
Bean forefronts the potential for multi-disciplinary experimentation through her dynamic forays, including her collaborations into sound/music with Paul Burwell, and later Bow Gamelan (with Burwell and Richard Wilson), the Bernsteins, and earlier Moody and the Menstruators. Her work reflects an open-ended relationship to aesthetics and materials, drawing from all manner of influences, overlapping life and art, and resulting in exploding the definitions of both.
