Review Quotes
Contemporary Theatre Review
"A significant addition to the history of live art in the UK in general and to the work of Anne Bean in particular. . . . [The book] places Bean’s oeuvre into the history of experimental art and performance in the UK in the 1970s and 80s. . . . Beautifully illustrated with color photographs and visual essays made by Bean for this book, Self Etc. also provides a critical and conceptual framework for understanding her work."
Phoebe Patey-Ferguson, Theatre Research International
"The volume has been conceived to actively resist easy narratives or linear timelines, instead combining commissioned critical essays from various academics, artists and accomplices, who each offer a personal and impassioned insight into their encounters with Bean. Between these, Bean's own collaged visual essays are peppered, each offering short commentaries and reflections on particular projects and themes. . . . Each page demonstrates her unsurpassable energy and ferocity through accounts which crystallize effervescent moments just enough to begin to grasp the enormous scope and intricacy of Bean's work while preserving the mystery intrinsic to her practice."
