Myvanwy Gibson is an artist and researcher whose practice engages with philosophies of transformation, exploring how evolving human consciousness can address contemporary challenges. Her practice moves between writing (using words as material), computational arts and performance aiming to bring poetic and philosophical writing to life via sound poems, installations, performances and film.
Born in Melbourne, Australia, Myvanwy Gibson began her career as a visual artist after completing two Masters of Fine Art in Milan, Italy from 2012-2016 (firstly in Contemporary Art with a specialisation in Painting; and secondly in Visual Cultures and Curatorial Practices). She completed a practice-based research project 'The Language of Birds' at The Royal College of Art, London in 2022 receiving a Master of Research in Arts and Humanities and subsequently went on to to a deeper specialisation in Performance Art at Central Saint Martins at the University of Arts London in 2024. She has exhibited and presented papers internationally in Milan, Venice, Rome and Todi in Italy; and in New York, London, Vienna, Switzerland and Prague.
Some important highlights are her papers and work being presented at the International Association of Empirical Aesthetics in New York and Vienna; her having been offered a Solo show of her paintings in Milan, Italy by the curatorial collective ‘Supergiovane’; and her invitation to be the first international artist to show at the Todi Open Doors exhibition held every year in Umbria, Italy. Whilst living in London she was invited to Audition for Marina Abramović’s Reperformances at the Royal Academy of Arts London, and her work Know Nature was short listed by the London Art Collective for ArtEvol 2025 held at the Saatchi Gallery in 2025.
I propose that technology is a reflection of who we are, whilst it is nature that holds the knowledge of who we can become - and that these relationships, triadic in nature, aid in this becoming. Myvanwy Gibson
