Precious Okoyomon

For The Vatican Pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale I made “If I have not love - Then I have nothing ”wind-chimes that play fragments of Quartet for the end of time .. I wanted God to blow thru and all we would be left with was the language of angels 🌸🌱 forever loving St Hildegard 🩵 … if you go remember to smell the most stunning roses I’ve ever witnessed in my life. @holyseepavilion2026 thanks to Ben and @hansulrichobrist for making some time outside of time 🦋

Hodler Prize Selection (18/18) ‘ON BREATHING : CARE IN A TIME OF CATASTROPHE’ Author : Jamieson Webster @jamiesonwebster Selected by Precious Okoyomon @devilintraining_ Type : Book Publisher : Catapult @catapult   ‘Jamieson is a force. This book changed time slowly for me. It’s thinking about how the air we share connects us to the world and how we forget the air we live in. Jamieson’s work grounds me and roots me so deep in the maternal body – freedom from repression. ‘ Precious Okoyomon A gorgeous, expansive piece of narrative non-fiction about care, dependence, and what it means to breathe in an age of environmental catastrophe A few moments after birth we begin to use our lungs for the first time. From then on, we must continue breathing for as long as we are alive. And although this mostly happens unconsciously, in a society plagued by anxiety, climate change, environmental racism, and illness, there are more and more instances that “teach us about the privilege that is breathing.” Why do we so easily forget the air that we breathe in common? What does it mean to breathe when the environment that sustains life now threatens it? And how can life continue to flourish under conditions that are increasingly toxic? To approach these questions, Jamieson Webster draws on psychoanalytic theory and reflects on her own experiences as an asthmatic child, a deep-sea diver, a palliative psychologist during COVID, a psychoanalyst attentive to the somatic, and a new mother. The result is a compassionate and timely exploration of air and breathing as a way to undo the pervasive myth of the individual by considering our dependence on invisible systems, on one another, and the way we have violently neglected this important aspect of life. » Catapult    We would like to thank our partners who made this third edition of the Hodler Prize possible @centrepompidou @mk2 @ledger @coinsharesco @maison_dices

VIA Art Fund is thrilled to celebrate our recent Artistic Production Grant Awardees, including a new installation and by Precious Okoyomon for the courtyard at MoMA PS1, commissioned on the occasion of the institution’s 50th Anniversary. Launching in summer 2026, MoMA PS1’s Courtyard Commission series is a major new program which invites an artist to transform the museum’s courtyard for a period of two years. For the inaugural Courtyard Commission, Precious Okoyomon will produce a living forest featuring a large-scale, interactive bear sculpture—the artist’s signature motif—that resembles an oversized children’s toy. The forest, developed in collaboration with the experimental nursery issima, will grow into an ever-morphing woodland of trees, invasive plants, exotic flowers, weeds, and boulders. Visitors are invited to venture into the bear’s body, where they can experience a multi-sensory installation before exiting through its mouth. #VIAArtFund #VIAGrantees #VIAGrant#ArtisticProduction #PreciousOkoyomon #MoMAPS1 #Museum #LongIslandCity #Installation #CoutyardCommission
