- Summary
- "This monograph accompanying the first retrospective of this important Canadian artist's career fills an large gap in contemporary art documentation. There are many reasons for Salloum's relatively low profile in his home country, including the non-commercial and interdisciplinary nature of his work (photography and video practices, collaborative, community-based work, curating and writing) and its extremely broad international focus. Yet Salloum is one of the most recognized artists abroad, where his distinctive commitment to the exploration of personal stories and viewpoints within unstable or uncertain geo-political contexts has led him to collaborations with individuals and communities in places as far-ranging as Palestine, the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Cuba, Lebanon and more. The comprehensive publication brings together diverse and sometimes competing voices of many individuals to reflect upon the impact of Salloum's production. Contributors include Keith Wallace, Jamelie Hassan, Walid Raad and Haema Sivanesan."--BOOK JACKET.
