About Rosie Gibbens
![]() |
Rosie Gibbens is a British artist who makes performances, videos, sculptures and installations that feature her body. Using absurd humour, she explores gender performativity, sexual politics, consumer desire, labour, and the slippery overlap between these. The mindset behind her work is often of someone attempting to participate seamlessly in contemporary life, but not quite managing. Rosie studied Contemporary Art Practice at the Royal College of Art (2018), and Performance Design and Practice at Central Saint Martins (2015). She has exhibited and performed at institutions including: Konig Gallery, South London Gallery, Whitechapel Gallery, Elephant West, Zabludowicz Collection, TJ Boulting and Giant. In 2022 she won the Ingram Prize, was shortlisted for the Mark Tanner Sculpture Award and was awarded the Sarabande residency.
