Rosie Gibbens
Rosie Gibbens (b.1993) is a London-based sculpture artist. Gibbens studied BA Performance Designs and Practice at Central Saint Martins in 2015 and then went on to study MA Contemporary Art Practice Performance in 2018. She has had many solo exhibitions and performances that have included ‘Parabiosis’, The Bomb Factory, London in 2024, ‘Skin of my Teeth’, Midlands Arts Centre, Birmingham in 2022 and ‘Carrot and Stick’ at the Somers Gallery in London in 2019.
Gibbens makes performances and photographs that use her body. She explores the overlaps between identity, labour and consumer desire. She often makes sculptures that combine household gadgets with sewn body parts. Rosie playfully blends these things to unpack and question the future body as it becomes increasingly ‘optimised’ by technological development.
