Statement
Beatrice Gibson is an artist based in London . Her practice concerns the politics and poetics of everyday sites and spaces. Working in diverse mediums from text, to performance, to film, her practice is largely site specific, research based and often collaborative and participatory in nature. Recent pieces have explored sociality and sound, investigating aural dimensions of the relational. Referencing experimental film and experimental music practices these works touch upon a multiplicity of themes, from ideas to do with the musicality of speech and the theatricality of the everyday to conflations of the factual and the fictional and the problems of representation. Recent projects include taxi_onomy (2005-6) an art architecture collaboration with architect Celine Condorelli, supported by Arts Council England, British Council, ‘if the route:’ The Great learning of london [A Taxi Opera], (2007) developed in collaboration with musician and composer Jamie McCarthy, partnered by ResonanceFm, Studio Voltaire, London and funded by Arts Council England and A Necessary Music (2008) developed in collaboration with composer Alex Waterman and funded by the Graham Foundation for Art and Architecture and Arts Council England. Gibson was a studio artist in residence at the Whitney Museum of American Art ISP, during 2008,  and since 2006 has been a doctoral candidate at the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths, with Eyal Weizman. She is currently working on a new film commission from the Serpentine Gallery and Camden Council.
