ABOUT THE ARTIST

Rhea Dillon is an artist, writer and poet from London, UK. Dillon works across mediums to articulate an aesthetic of diasporic Blackness grounded in a postcolonial nonbeing. Her charged exhibitions and writing use poet(h)ics, abstraction, and everyday objects to produce distinctive arrangements of sense and affect.

Select recent solo and group exhibitions include "Traces" at Cooper Cole, Toronto; "Heads" at the American Academy of Arts and Letters, NYC; "Video Killed the Radio Star" at Mudam, Luxembourg; "Wo ich wohne" at Haus am Waldsee, Berlin; "Weather Stress Index" at Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Annandale-on-Hudson, NY; "DFT 2025" at Wesleyan University, Connecticut; "Gestural Poethics" at Heidelberger Kunstverein, Germany; "Accumulation – On Collecting, Growth and Excess", The Migros Museum of Contemporary Art, Zurich; "Fractal Being" at Cordova, Barcelona; "Air de Repos (Breathwork)" at Capc Bordeaux, France; "Tituba, qui pour nous protéger?" at Palais de Tokyo, Paris; "Each now, is the time, the space" at Lismore Castle Arts, Ireland; "The Black Fold" at Kunstverein Kevin Space, Vienna; and "An Alterable Terrain" at Tate Britain, London. To accompany this solo exhibition, a book of the same title was edited by her and published by Tate Publishing in 2024. For 2024, she was the guest editor of the Interjection Calendar for Montez Press, celebrating a decade of the calendar’s publishing. She was recently an Elaine G. Weitzen Studio Program Fellow at the Whitney Museum's Independent Study Program 2024/2025 in New York.
