TEXSTgroup explores the presence of text in visual art in all of its manifestations. Our title, TEXST, embodies our approach, testing text-based work within an art context. We have strong focus on collaboration and discussion, often culminating in publications, performances, workshops, reading groups, and exhibitions.
Our regular TEXSTtable meetings are open to all those whose practice, however marginally, is occupied by the written or spoken word. With no fixed format other than sitting together around a communal table, TEXSTtable is a place for the sharing of words, writing, texts, and language in any and every possibility. The meetings act as a peer-led critical forum, and as a site for the discussion of ideas.
We have recently launched TEXSTpress, a new aspect of the group focused on the publication and dissemination of works that resonate with our pursuit of testing the limits of text-based work.
TEXSTgroup is based in Bergen and is run by Samuel Brzeski, Robin Everett, Laurie Lax, Lucila Mayol and Pedro Riva.
