Biography
Rhea Dillon is an artist, writer and poet based in London. Examining and abstracting her intrigue of the ‘rules of representation’ as a device to undermine contemporary Western culture, Dillon questions what constitutes the ontology of race and power, versus the ontic.
The artist’s first institutional solo exhibition, An Alterable Terrain, opened at Tate Britain, Art Now in 2023. Accompanying this major exhibition, a new book showcases her poetically insightful work. Edited by Dillon, An Alterable Terrain features her poethic writing, alongside newly commissioned texts, posthumously published poems from the poetry archives in Jamaica and installation views of the exhibition alongside individual works.
She was the Guest Editor of the Interjection Calendar for Montez Press, 2024. The artist presented Catgut – The Opera as part of Park Nights 2021 at the Serpentine Pavilion, a publication of the same title was released in 2023 by Worms Publishing and launched at the ICA London.
