Jayce Salloum / history of the present / the latest A Word

December 8 2011 Categorized Under: Radio

This week’s show is a conversation between myself and Jayce Salloum, whose exhibition history of the present is at the Mendel Art Gallery right now. You can listen to it, or download it, here. We talk about the show and a number of issues around it, and I should mention that Jayce had spent some of his early years in Southwestern Saskatchewan, which feeds into my theory that many people from here are the first to question any notion of an homogenous “history”, even with the rhetoric of the “new Saskatchewan”…..
