Art Note: Rhea Dillon
The space is suggestive of passage, but impassable
On the occasion of the release of Cynthia Hawkins’s new book, Art Notes, Art, CARA has invited artists whose varied practices engage, in some form, the interplay of abstraction, painting, drawing, and sculpture, to share a page from their journal featuring sketches, drawings, notes, reflections on process, and other ephemera from the regular unfoldings of everyday life.
Rhea Dillon is an artist, writer, and poet from London. Dillon’s first institutional solo exhibition An Alterable Terrain was held at Tate Britain last year as part of the Art Now series. To accompany this major exhibition, a book of the same title was recently published by Tate Publishing. Her solo and group exhibitions of 2024 include Fractal Being at Cordova, Barcelona; Gestural Poetics at Soft Opening at Paul Soto, Los Angeles; Air de Repos (Breathwork) at Capc Bordeaux; Tituba, qui pour nous protéger? at Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Conversations at Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool; Burning Down the House: Rethinking Family at Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, Switzerland; Each now, is the time, the space at Lismore Castle Arts, Lismore; and Janus at Berggruen Arts & Culture in partnership with The Kitchen, Palazzo Diedo, Venice. The artist presented Catgut – The Opera as part of Park Nights 2021 at the Serpentine Pavilion, and a publication of the same title was released last year by Worms Publishing. She is currently an Elaine G. Weitzen Studio Program Fellow at the Whitney Museum of Art ISP in New York.
