Jayce Salloum's "There was and There was not (Kan ya ma Kan)" is now available online

Jayce Salloum' There Was and There Was Not (Kan ya ma Kan) is now freely available online (pdf).

There was and There was not (Kan ya ma Kan)
Artist: Jayce Salloum.

Authors: François Dion, Walid Ra'ad.
Optica, Montreal, 1996.
Texts in French and English

Ra'ad shows how Salloum's installation multiplies formal, political, and social relationships within objects collected during a sojourn in Lebanon in 1992-1993. In an interview with Dion, the artist comments on his working process and the importance of the “conceptualization of the perceived political and social exigency.”
