Société Announces The Representation Of Salim Green

SOCIÉTÉ is pleased to announce the representation of American artist Salim Green in collaboration with François Ghebaly.

Salim Green explores themes of concealment, visibility, and opacity through a multi-disciplinary practice encompassing painting, sculpture, video, performance, installation, sound, and writing. For Green, abstraction functions both as an aesthetic strategy and an attitude: a means of negotiating notions of legibility, authorship, and the plasticity of experience. A recurring point of reference in his work is Dark Forest Theory—a speculative framework proposing that extraterrestrial civilizations remain hidden to avoid detection and destruction. Adopting this theory as a lens for understanding relational dynamics and Black existence, Green’s work embodies acts of strategic withdrawal—resistant assertions of unknowability, interiority, and survival. Salim Green's upcoming solo presentation at SOCIÉTÉ in 2026, will mark the artist’s European debut. François Ghebaly will open his first solo exhibition in September 2025. DFT 2025, a group exhibition co-curated by Salim Green and Benjamin Chaffee, will open at Wesleyan University in the same month.

Salim Green has recently had a solo exhibition at SculptureCenter, New York and currently is the Sullivan Fellow in the arts at Wesleyan University.
