November 30 - December 30, 2020
From Devin Borden Gallery:
“Using source text from the 1895 novel by John Westley Carhart (published in Texas), Norma Trist is a groundbreaking work that contains stunningly progressive defenses of same-sex desire. It was the foundation of the 2016 installation 50 States:Texas by Nick Vaughan and Jake Margolin.
Known as a livre d’artiste (to distinguish it from an artist’s book) this type of work was pioneered in France and is defined by the spirit of collaboration between artists, writers, print publishers and book makers. A limited edition, this yearslong production, made in collaboration with Katherine Brimberry and Flatbed Press, Austin, includes six folded intaglio impressions and accordian-bound serigraph text (made in collaboration with Pepe Coronado) in a custom dyed box (by Jace Graf of Cloverleaf Studio).
The project was funded in part by the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance.
