location/dis-location(s): contingent promises

In his second solo exhibition at MKG127, Salloum continues his critical engagement in the exploration of the possibilities of visualizing the nature of ‘natural’, urban, and semi/sub-urban environments, and their cross-overs – overlapping, separating, and collapsing into one another.

Jayce Salloum’s practice exists within and between the personal, quotidian, local, and the trans-national. His work has been included in many international biennales and festivals. Salloum has exhibited at Musée du Louvre, Paris; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; National Gallery of Canada; Royal Ontario Museum and Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin. His texts and works have been featured in publications such as The Archive (Whitechapel, London/The MIT Press, 2006), Projecting Migration: Transcultural Documentary Practice (Wallflower Press, London, 2007), and Practical Dreamers: Conversations with Movie Artists, (Coach House Press, Toronto, 2008). A monograph on his work, Jayce Salloum: history of the present, was published in 2009.
