Timeline

1958

Jayce Salloum (born 1958) is a Canadian multidisciplinary artist.

1975

After first attending the Banff School of Fine Arts (now the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity) in 1975, Salloum returned in 1978 to study photography, after spending one year at the San Francisco Art Institute studying drawing, photography, and painting.

Under the guidance of Hubert Hohn (who worked with Ansel Adams and assisted Minor White), Salloum learning the technical, formal intricacies of making a photograph.

The centre, at the time, was a site of collaboration and camaraderie where artists pushed one another to develop their capabilities.

It was at this time that Salloum started working with colour photography.

His body of work "location/dis-location(s)"—part of the "untitled" series—began in Banff, and continues through to today.

The constitutive photographs of the ongoing "untitled" series are largely documentations of the margins and the periphery within numerous cities.

These images are varied and present an archive of the city when installed and exhibited by Salloum.

Salloum notes that his photographs offer "partial glimpses or fragments of understanding" and, further, there is no "fulfillment of knowledge."

Archival interventions are a mode of artistic production in Salloum's native Lebanon that became common place after the 1975-1990 Lebanese Civil War, and much of the work of Salloum's colleagues—in particular, Walid Raad, Akram Zaatari, Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige, and Lamia Joreige—is in some manner oriented towards the archive.

The archives employed in Salloum's untitled series, for example, are not static but are instead dynamic.

Much of the ongoing untitled series centres around questions of resistance and representation.

The traces that one leaves behind in place—the traces of the self that form what Salloum refers to as the histories of the self—are videotaped by Salloum in an effort to bring the personal space into "the context of the intrinsic social and political site."

As Jim Drobnick and Jennifer Fisher note, "Salloum's practice of taking photographs works as a kind of visual diary of the act of 'passing by.' Countering touristic 'first-glance' snapshots, he is committed to knowing a place well before photographing it."

Salloum enacts the role of a "curator-collector" in his "untitled" series, in which he is not only active in making the photograph, but in grouping in with others as well.

Images take on another meaning when amassed together, as an archive of the city and its margins.

When exhibited, Salloum's "untitled" photographs are "constellations" of the city, where meaning is multiple and uncertain, to be determined in part by the viewers themselves.

Displayed as such, Salloum's photographs give the impression of seeing while walking through a city.

1978

A multidisciplinary artist, since 1978 Salloum has produced work in installation, photography, video, performance and text, as well as curating and coordinating a vast array of cultural projects.

His work is included in over one hundred permanent collections, including the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, the Asia Art Archive, the Centre Pompidou, Paris, J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade, the Museum of the Americas, Managua, Nicaragua, Museum of Modern Art, New York, National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens, Saradar Collection, Beirut, Lebanon, Sharjah Art Foundation, UAE, Vancouver Art Gallery, British Columbia.

In addition to these museums and galleries, Salloum's work has been collected by numerous universities, including the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, Birzeit University, Ramallah, Palestine, Carleton University, Ottawa, Centre for Contemporary Arab Studies, Georgetown, Columbia University, New York, Concordia University, Montréal, Duke University, N. Carolina, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, Ontario College of Art & Design, Toronto, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, University of California, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Yale Film Archive, New Haven, Connecticut.

1979

After attending the summer 1979 photography masterclass at Banff, Salloum returned to the San Francisco Art Institute.

1980

He earned a BFA degree from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1980, followed by a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of California, San Diego in 1988.

Salloum has lived and worked in Beirut, New York, San Francisco, Toronto and elsewhere.

1982

From 1982 onward, Salloum accumulated vast amounts of research materials for what would become the installation Kan Ya Ma Kan/There was and there was not (1995).

For Salloum, this material constituted a living archive that "called into question notions of history and research methodology, their role in the effacement of histories, and the mediated process inherent in the representation and (mis)understanding of another culture…" This notion of a living archive recurs throughout Salloum's body of work and can be seen in both his installation work as well as his curatorial engagements.

1997

A grandson of Syrian immigrants from what is now Lebanon's Beqaa Valley, he was born and raised in Kelowna and since 1997 has been based in Vancouver.

2001

In 2001, Salloum was invited to exhibit at the Canadian Museum of Civilization.

The exhibition was set to open in October of that year but was cancelled in the aftermath of 9/11.

Central to the museum's decision to cancel the exhibition was Salloum's video installation, untitled part 1: everything and nothing, in which Salloum interviews Soha Bechara who was detained for nearly ten years at Khiam prison in Southern Lebanon, which was at the time occupied by Israel.

In the video, Bechara expresses the need to resist the Israeli occupation, which was seen as controversial by the directors of the Canadian Museum of Civilization.

The bigoted gesture to cancel the exhibition and censor the voices of Arab-Canadian artists was widely condemned by the public.

After a discussion ensued in the House of Commons, in which Prime Minister Jean Chrétien voiced his support for the exhibition, the show opened on schedule.

2005

In 2005, Salloum was commissioned by Kelowna's Alternator Gallery to create a new video work for their compilation video project, "Temporal Transmissions," part of the city's 2005 centennial celebration.

Salloum created a 38-minute video, untitled part 4: terra in cognita, which interviews local Syilx First Nations residents and documents the history and shameful legacy of Canada's ongoing colonialism.

The day prior to the screening, the city of Kelowna tried to censor the works and cancelled the scheduled premiere screening.

Salloum was able to convince Kelowna's Alternator Gallery to screen the film that same night, and in the ensuing weeks after much press coverage and public debate the city decommissioned the complete compilation project and denied the final funding due to the Alternator gallery.

The video was claimed by local First Nations as their own film, and presented in schools as part of their history.

2014

In 2014, he won the Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts.

2016

In 2016 he was a nominee for the Scotiabank Photography Award.
