Liza Béar is a New York-based filmmaker, writer, photographer, and

media activist who makes both individual and collaborative works.

Béar co-founded two early independent art magazines Avalanche and

Bomb. Since 1968 she has lived and worked in New York City.Béar was

raised in France and England. She studied Philosophy at the University

of London.In 1968, Béar co-founded and edited Avalanche magazine with

Willoughby Sharp, producing thirteen issues between 1970 and 1976.

Avalanche explored conceptual art and other new forms of art making,

such as performance art and land art, from the artist's perspective

and featured interviews with artists done by either Béar, Sharp, or

both of the editors together, documenting artists' work and news and

avoiding criticism as a matter of editorial policy. Among the artists

featured in early editions of Avalanche magazine were Vito Acconci,

Lawrence Weiner, Joseph Beuys, Gordon Matta-Clark and Yvonne Rainer.

Avalanche was also influential in its design. Béar was especially

attuned to the possibilities of the interview as an artistic form in

its own right. For example, in her interview with Joel Shapiro in

Avalanche 12, she conceived of the conversation through the narrative

and formal devices of film.
