Anne Bean. NOW
January – March 2004

Anne Bean and five younger artists are spending 90 days investigating time and the notion of capturing time through process based experimentation . Time is an inescapable collaborator in all art (and life) and the participating artists are looking at ways of acknowledging this ‘collaboration’. So far the project has taken the group on many paths, contrasting responses, shared notions, struggles, uncertainties, inspirations, unclarity and great warmth.   Participants have been selected by invitation.

Together we are partners in Creative Capital which is working to help artists to identify, prioritise and implement professional development activities.
