Carle Gent is an artist and writer from Bexhill-on-sea.
They have exhibited their sculptures, songs, vehicles and printouts at Deptford X, Café Oto, Badischer Kunstverein, Istituto Svizzero, Flatland, the De La Warr Pavilion, ICA, Somerset House, Goldsmiths CCA, Wysing Arts Centre, KELDER, Jupiter Woods and the Museum of English Rural Life.
Felon Herb, an iteration of her ongoing manufacture of absinthe as art, was published by Kelder Press in 2022, and in 2021 All Us Girls Have Been Dead for So Long, the script to their climate-apocalypse musical extravaganza co-produced with Linda Stupart, was published by Arcadia Missa. The Balls of Alban, their pamphlet seeking to refictionalise the life of Cynethryth, eighth-century Queen of Mercia, was published by Monitor Books in late 2022.
She recently convened the Study Day on Biological Exuberance at Hospitalfield, Arbroath - a weekend of dance, talks, video, sound and performance looking at gay and trans animal life. In 2025 they started a practice-based DPhil at the Ruskin School of Art asking how artmaking can meaningfully assist us in recognising the queer and internal lives of non-human animals.
