As Nicole Kaack wrote in the recent \u201cNew Talent\u201d issue of&nbsp;<em>Art in America<\/em>, Dillon produces \u201cvisceral portraits of postcolonial Black experiences from everyday objects, symbols, and language.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joumaa, a participant in last year\u2019s Venice Biennale, is showing at Art Basel with Montreal\u2019s Eli Kerr Gallery, whose booth is devoted to an installation by her called&nbsp;<em>Periodic Sights<\/em>. The piece features photographs of sights seen in Tripoli and Beirut\u2014Joumaa splits her time between that latter city and Amsterdam\u2014and are intended as a comment on energy crises afflicting countries such as Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Baloise Art Prize tends to recognize artists on the cusp of a big break, with past winners including Tino Sehgal, Simon Denny, Tourmaline, and Haegue Yang. It recognizes artists participating in the fair\u2019s Statements section, where galleries turn over their booths to single-artist presentations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s jury included Karola Kraus, director of mumok in Vienna; Bettina Steinbr\u00fcgge, director of MUDAM in Luxmebourg; Susanne Pfeffer, director of the MMK Frankfurt; Susanne Titz, director of the Museum Abteiberg in M\u00f6nchengladbach; and Uli Sigg, a well-known collector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read More About:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Art Basel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Joyce Joumaa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rhea Dillon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u6ce8\uff1a\u6587\u7ae0\u8f6c\u8f7d\u81ea\u9999\u6e2f\u7f8e\u8853\u8a2d\u8a08\u5354\u6703-\u9999\u6e2f\u7576\u4ee3\u8a2d\u8a08\u734e<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Baloise Art Prize, a $36,800 award given out to two artists participating in the Statements sector of Art Basel annu&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[12],"class_list":["post-107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-information","tag-12"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cndesigners.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cndesigners.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cndesigners.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cndesigners.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cndesigners.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cndesigners.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":109,"href":"https:\/\/www.cndesigners.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107\/revisions\/109"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cndesigners.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cndesigners.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cndesigners.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cndesigners.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
