- DELAYED 1971 > 2017 by Anne Bean, Rod Melvin, Chal was a collaborative performance by ARC, in the Great Hall, Reading 1971, which was reconfigured by the same main participants in 2017, each with their own sense of the original. Including Mirei Yazawa
- I’m Not Here (1995) by Brian Routh (aka Harry Kipper, 1948-2018) in which, as ever, Brian triggers the belly laugh from the underbelly.

About Anne Bean: Self Etc.
The first substantial survey of its kind, Anne Bean: Self Etc. is edited by Rob La Frenais and brings together documentation of Bean’s performances, drawings, videos, installations, and sculptures, as well as writings, interviews and visual essays by the artist. A series of commissioned critical essays show her to be a prolific maker of acts, objects, and multiple ‘selves’.
This book includes extensive visual documentation of Bean’s performances, essays by and interviews with Anne Bean, Guy Brett, Dominic Johnson, Poshya Kakl, Rob La Frenais, Lynn MacRitchie, Ezra Rubenstein, and Richard Wilson, and a series of new visual essays by the artist. The book has been designed by David Caines.
Lavishly illustrated and including previously unseen images, Anne Bean: Self Etc. explores and expands the nature, form and contexts that artistic collaboration can take.
This publication is the sixth in the Intellect Live book series. Intellect Live is a collaboration between Intellect Books and the Live Art Development Agency. The series is characterized by lavishly illustrated and beautifully designed books that are created through close collaborations between artists and writers, and that are the first substantial publication dedicated to the artists’ work.
The book can be purchased through Unbound.
