A
s John Steinbeck famously said, Texas is more than a state; it’s a state of mind. It’s this framework Magnum photographer Alec Soth and writer Brad Zellar are using to bring their “irregularly published” newspaper, The LBM Dispatch, to Texas, culminating in a one-night pop-up preview at the Harry Ransom Center on Friday, December 6. The show, titled “The Texas Triangle,” will explore the state’s unique voices and places through photography and writing, as discovered in a two-week trip the pair took through the triangular area between San Antonio, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Galveston. Since its inception in 2012, Soth and Zellar’s project has produced five state-themed issues of The LBM (Little Brown Mushroom) Dispatch, published by LBM, the independent publishing company started by Soth in 2008. And from the Dispatch’s beginning, Soth says, both he and Zellar were drawn to including Texas. He explains, “Whether one is talking about politics, culture or sheer geography, the role Texas plays in American life is too big to ignore…” The show, organized by Ransom Center Chief Curator of Photography Jessica McDonald with assistance from UT Art students, is in conjunction with the Center’s current exhibition of images from its Magnum photography collection, “Radical Transformation: Magnum Photos into the Digital Age,” which runs through January 5. l. patterson
