Frieze is giving its annual Artist Award to Precious Okoyomon, a New York-based artist, poet, and chef, who will use the $30,000 budget for a new commission at this year’s fair in New York, which is being held in scaled-back fashion at the Shed. “Simultaneously playful and critically inquisitive, this singular artist-poet’s work highlights the inevitability of change, decay, death, and rebirth,” said jury chair Jenny Schlenzka, executive artistic director at Performance Space New York, in a statement. “By extending poetry into the organic world, Okoyomon reminds us that apocalypse and utopia coexist and always have.”
