Jayce Salloum: beyond now
Presented as part of
鈥淚n and out of quarantine time, pondering how to tackle the politics of fear, regression, pain, promise, and hope that surround me. I鈥檝e started and stopped several things, so your message comes at an opportune albeit heavily pressurized time. I don鈥檛 usually produce work upon such short notice, yet I am interested in thinking this through, into something useful. I had started collecting fragments of text, correspondence with others, and writing bits and pieces, so I am making it somewhat of a daily practice, which will coalesce into a sutured manifesto disguised as poetic ramblings and rants out into the void.鈥�

An audio recording of the artist reading the text aloud in English is below:
Jayce Salloum鈥檚 projects are rooted in an intimate engagement with place(s) and the people that inhabit them. A grandson of Syrian immigrants from the Beqaa Valley (Lebanon), he was raised on Sylix (Okanagan) territory. After 22 years in San Francisco, Banff, Toronto, San Diego, Beirut, and New York, he has been based on the unceded x史m蓹胃k史蓹y虛蓹m, sk瘫wx瘫w煤7mesh and s蓹铆l虛w蓹ta蕯艂 territories for the past 23 years. Salloum has exhibited widely, from the smallest unnamed storefronts in his downtown eastside neighbourhood to institutions such as the Mus茅e du Louvre (Paris), Centre Pompidou (Paris), National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), Havana Biennial, Sharjah Biennial, and the Sydney Biennale.
