Part performance transcript, part conceptual writing exercise, this project works from an extract from Sam Riviere’s poem Miserable I hope you do too. The original text was rewritten and recombined into multiple possibilities of form and content. The variations of this text were then recited – from memory – in a semi-improvisational way over a four hour performance that took place at Black Box Theatre in Oslo in 2018. Here, the text from the performance is transcribed, allowing the poem to further mutate and shift from the realm of the voice back onto the space of the page. With an introduction by the original poet Sam Riviere.
TEXST is an art collective and publishing press based in Bergen, Norway. We explore the presence of text in visual art in all of its manifestations. Our title, TEXST, embodies our approach – testing text-based work in any and all forms. TEXST was established in 2016, and is currently Samuel Brzeski, Lucila Mayol, Robin Everett, Pedro Riva and Audrey Hurd.
