Autobituary is Anne Bean's second exhibition for Matt's Gallery and
turns to the artist's early performance work, displaying on 30
video monitors the recent re-staging of original performances made
by the artist between 1969-1974. Autobituary is a dynamic
sculptural installation integrating filmed performance works with
reclaimed furniture and props. The viewer can stand, sit, or walk
through the installation, surrounded by sound and image which have
the power of a live art event. Revealing a practice that spans
performance, sculpture, drawing, text and sound, Bean's re-formed
performances - Shadow Deeds - explore weight and weightlessness,
time and duration, surface and form, the body, the object and
representation. Re-forming intuited and remembered actions, Bean
weaves together works which stand alone as vital physical
performances; and as 'shadow deeds' explore the processes of
making, experiencing and viewing.

In the boldest imagining of the era since Shakespeare in Love and
Elizabeth, this spellbinding novel of witchcraft, poetry and
passion brings to life Aemilia Lanyer, the 'Dark Lady' of
Shakespeare's Sonnets - the playwright's muse and his one true
love. The daughter of a Venetian musician but orphaned as a young
girl, Aemilia Bassano grows up in the court of Elizabeth I,
becoming the Queen's favourite. She absorbs a love of poetry and
learning, maturing into a striking young woman with a sharp mind
and a quick tongue. Now brilliant, beautiful and highly educated,
she becomes mistress of Lord Hunsdon, the Lord Chamberlain and
Queen's cousin. But her position is precarious; when she falls in
love with court playwright William Shakespeare, her fortunes change
irrevocably. A must-read for fans of Tracy Chevalier (Girl With a
Pearl Earring) and Sarah Dunant (The Birth of Venus), Sally
O'Reilly's richly atmospheric novel compellingly re-imagines the
struggles for power, recognition and survival in the brutal world
of Elizabethan London. She conjures the art of England's first
professional female poet, giving us a character for the ages - a
woman who is ambitious and intelligent, true to herself and true to
her heart.
