Features On The Roof Geoff Dyer A lthough I've written quite a lot about photography and photographers, I don't own a camera and hardly ever take photos. Apart from a few sexually explicit Polaroids, the only personal pictures I have are ones taken by friends, all crammed haphazardly in a folder in my filing cabinet. If I rummage around in this image-compost, I'm never sure what I'm going to dredge up. Last week I became convinced that I needed to see a photo of the sky-blue Vauxhall Victor my dad used to drive and in the course of looking for it (unsuccessfully), I came across this one , taken on the roof of a block of flats in Brixton, London, some time in the mid-Eighties. A friend recently said that, for as long as he could remember, his dream of perfect happiness had always centred around having a family (my idea of perfect misery). Perhaps I suffer from some kind of arrested development but my sense of perfect happiness has never progressed beyond a slightly archaic idea of bohemia. And it was in Brixton, in the Eighties, that this dream first came true. Many people leave university with only a vague idea of what they might do for a living but I knew exactly what I wanted to do: sign on the dole. At Oxford, undergraduates reading English rarely went to lectures. The only thing you

72. Geoff Dyer Exhibition At AXIA Modern Art, Melbourne, March 2005 geoff dyer is emphatically a landscape artist but his latest exhibition of plein air paintings also delves into the esoteric. As dyer sees it, the landscape http://www.axiamodernart.com.au/geoffdyer/exhibition.html

Opens from 6.30pm Thursday 17th March and runs until Sunday 3rd April Geoff Dyer is emphatically a landscape artist but his latest exhibition of plein air paintings also delves into the esoteric.  As Dyer sees it, the landscape is "purely a prop - I'm simply interested in the process of painting". "Australia has only been settled for a few hundred years – we can't work from our own ancient mythology but we can go back to the landscape. I'm after that ethereal quality where you can't quite grasp what you're looking at but it commands your attention." "I wanted to capture the impenetrable aspect of the Tasmanian landscape - as the convicts would have seen it when first arriving in Australia." Dyer's work has been called gothic referring to the dark nature of his paintings which are becoming increasingly abstracted.  The impasto surface texture emphasises the materiality of the paint and process as equal to the subject.  Small works are created with only a palette knife and fingers. Dyer is known as the 2003 Archibald Prize winner but he does not consider himself a portraitist.  His new exhibition seeks to expand the boundaries of landscape painting.  "I don't conform to, or repeat, images.  When you do, you are not making art, you are just working to a recipe." Dyer studied at the Tasmanian School of Art and was Head of the School for Visual Arts and Creative Studies at Burnie Technical College before returning to painting full time. His work is represented in many public, private and corporate collections including the Art Gallery of NSW, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Hobart; Burnie Regional Gallery; Davenport Art Gallery; Qantas; Price Waterhouse Cooper; and The Art Trust.

75. New York State Writers Institute - Geoff Dyer Times Union Article Whenever geoff dyer finds himself in a rut, he packs up his belongings and hits the road. In this fashion, the British novelist and critic has crisscrossed http://www.albany.edu/writers-inst/tu_dyer_geoff.html

A writer for whom life is (usually) elsewhere By JOHN FREEMAN , Special to the Times Union First published: Sunday, December 5, 2004 Whenever Geoff Dyer finds himself in a rut, he packs up his belongings and hits the road. In this fashion, the British novelist and critic has crisscrossed the globe several times, living everywhere from New York and New Orleans to Rome and Paris. "It's that thing about the importance of elsewhere," says Dyer, 46. "Let's say you are feeling really (ticked) off. The classic advice is to get out of the house and go for a walk for an hour. I just enlarged the scale." It is this peripatetic instinct that brought Dyer from London to Albany, where he has been teaching this fall in the English program. Creative writing programs have not become quite the cultural mainstay in England as they are now in America, and Dyer says he's somewhat overwhelmed by the caliber of talent that passes through town as part of the New York State Writers Institute's Visiting Writers Series. Even though he lives in Manhattan, Dyer has stuck around for an event or two himself. "It's amazing for these undergraduate and graduate students to see these people I couldn't speak too enthusiastically about the Institute," he says.

77. Older, More Brutal Posted by geoffrey / 315 PM. I have decided I am not an artist. It s me, geoff. I d like to raise some recent issueswell, maybe not so recent http://geoffreydyer.blogspot.com/

Older, More Brutal Links Google News Edit-Me Edit-Me Blogs Archives Tuesday, August 05, 2003 Posted by: Geoffrey / 3:15 PM I have decided I am not an artist. Artsists use paint. They examine their strokes, and stroke again. They think about color. They have the choice of creating something representational, or abstract. They also have the luxury of defining their own medium. They are obsessed. They create and conceptualize, with never a thought of breakfast or cigarettes. They do not sleep. Eli is an artist. He is, in fact, married to painting. I, instead, sleep. I am a journalist. My blog proves this. I, unlike the artist, do not have a choice between representational renderings and the abstract. I have only representational materials, which I may try to use to signify the abstract. However, even in doing this, I must revert to a fixed vocabularyor at least alphabeta pre-set lexicon and arsenal with which to perhaps bend, mar, or muddle its own inherent function: to represent. Shitty, yes. What of neologisms? Firgehnought! Be derfiftey! With these too, I am bound by languageby the alphabet and probable meaning through context. If I say "face" it means something. If I say "juice," it also means something. If I say "Face Juice," this also means something, but is unlikely. It is not abstract, but merely spittle, mucus, tears, or perhaps the goo inside a pimple. I also am not priveledged with the capacity to define my own medium. I can call my paper airplanes poetry until noon. I can call the act of calling them poetry poetry too. Anyone can call anything anythingbut they still are calling it a thing. Sam calls Spot a fish, but we all know damn well that Spot is a dog. A d-o-g. Stands for tail, stands for tongue, stands for Jane and a fistful of America. So, is Sam inherently an iconoclast? Is his tendency to use words that normally hold one meaning as holding a SECRET meaning that only he knowsthat cannot be decrypted, that he does not mean to be decrypted, that he only hopes to make people THINK might be decrypteda movement towards a widespread revolt? Some kind of overthrow of representational language?

78. Geoffrey Dyer: The Dirty Halo Of Everything Geoffrey dyer s Dirty Halo comes with intimately toned dreamscapes that demand, via no b.s. exuberance, that my imagination exist and function. http://www.krupskayabooks.com/dyer.htm

Geoffrey Dyer The Dirty Halo of Everything ISBN 1-928650-16-3 79 pages Geoffrey Dyer's Dirty Halo comes with intimately toned dreamscapes that demand, via no b.s. exuberance, that my imagination exist and function. His tanks grow roses; he dreams himself into a palace made of holes; he wears the mascara of Andromeda; he hallucinates new contexts for hope, while understanding the mutation of philosophy into style; he does not assume your brain. What the fuck else does one need? Anselm Berrigan Welcome to the 'valley of the near yonder hell, an Out West sort of place," where you will find "Golgotha embellished in cement" and the "mascara of Andromeda." While you are here, "pay attention to the words collaborating inside [y]our skull." Geoffrey Dyer certainly does. So much so I swear that Apollinaire, William Eggleston, and Harry Dean Stanton have been slipping Dyer some potent Kickapoo Joy Juice. Apollinaire brought Jesus into the 20th century, and now, in the 21st century, Dyer sees "Jesus in his panorama." This is America. And, like Eggleston and Stanton, Dyer is a damned wonderful guide. John Yau Geoffrey Dyer's impressive first book is filled with beautiful contradictions, its lines turning over into lush, angelic underworlds. The "rows of corn in her shadow," the little black within the dream, the convergence of immanent patterns on the other side of a cardboard panorama. Here, "at certain moments, we stop being different," but how does he do it? Be careful when you read this book. It's like being twice as awake.
