ArtistBiography
Jayce Salloum, as if an itinerant geographer of conflicted territories (almost everywhere), observes the world and creates/collects a subjective archive of images to make meaning from. Since arriving here—by no means of his own volition—he tries to go only where he is invited or where there is an intrinsic affinity, his projects being rooted in an intimate engagement with place. A grandson of Syrian or Lebanese immigrants, he was born and raised on others’ land, the Sylix (Okanagan) territory. After twenty-one years living and working elsewhere, he planted himself on the unceded Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh territories. Salloum has lectured and published extensively and exhibited somewhat peripatetically at the widest possible and most improbable range of local and international venues, from the smallest unnamed storefronts in his downtown east-side Vancouver neighbourhood to institutions such as the Musée du Louvre, Museum of Modern Art, Guggenheim Museum, Centre Georges Pompidou, National Gallery of Canada, Bienal De La Havana, Sharjah Biennial, Biennale of Sydney, and the Rotterdam International Film Festival.Embassy Cultural House, 2024
