  James Nizam creates photographs from temporary installations that he builds in homes and buildings that are slated for

demolition. The installations are the result of his interactions with the echoing histories and lingering physical traces of the

various sites that he is exploring. Nizam’s work is bound up with the history and memory of “place” and his work testifies

to a record of the built environment in transition.

Born in Bedfordshire, England, James Nizam now lives and works in Vancouver, Canada. Since completing a B.F.A. at the

University of British Columbia in 2002, his work has been exhibited throughout Canada, the United States, and Europe.

Upcoming exhibitions include Christophe Guye Galerie (Zurich), KunstHalle Dusseldorf, Dazibao (Montreal), Yukon Arts

Centre, and Birch Libralato Gallery (Toronto). Most recently acquired for the Toronto Dominion, Bank of Montreal, and

Louis Vuitton Collections, his work is also included in private collections in Canada, the United States and Europe. His

work has been reviewed or published in Flash Art, Border Crossings, Canadian Art, and The Globe & Mail, The National

Post and the New Yorker Magazine. In 2011 he was long listed for the Sobey Art Award, Canada’s preeminant prize for

artist achievement. In 2014 Nizam will be building his first public art sculpture commissioned through Concord Adex in

Toronto.
