Anne Bean has presented solo and collaborative projects incorporating static and time-based visual art, sound, and performance extensively at art venues, festivals, and unique sites throughout Europe, Canada, Mexico and Japan since 1970.

Her many collaborations include her long-term work with Richard Wilson and Paul Burwell as the Bow Gamelan Ensemble. In 2002, as part of the Whitechapel Art Gallery's Short History of Performance Part 1, Anne and six other artists including Harry and Harry Kipper (see Kipper Kids on page...) reunited as the Bernsteins, to recreate Death to Grumpy Grandads (1973). She has performed at a banquet for Helmut Shmidt and Henry Kissinger, and recently with vocalists, drummers and a Buddhist Monk in Battersea Park at dawn. She is a two-time winner of the Time Out Dance and Performance Award for her long standing contribution to live arts and last performed at the NRLA in 1994.
