Vito Acconci … defined the page as an area in which to act. In his ‘notes on poetry’ he defines words as props for movement and the page as a thing, a container, a map and a field for movement. -------- Anne Rorimer, Siting the Page: rewriting conceptual art 1999 What happens when language and the visual arts conflate? In an age of the sound-bite and increasingly paperless information exchange, Jayne Dyer uses language and books and the loose proposition of the library to discuss the relationship of visual arts with linguistics. She raises questions about our relationship with books as repositories of accumulated facts, hypotheses or fictions. In recent work books spill from doorways, columns of books mimic architecture or suspend in space, text works are constructed from private conversations and cities are mapped through individual stories.
