Brian Dillon in conversation with Chris Power: Critic and essayist Brian Dillon, author of Essayism, In the Dark Room, Suppose a Sentence and Affinities, speaks to Chris Power, author of A Lonely Man, about his writing to date, including the influence and use of the image in his work, his attachment to the fragment and the ‘mere’, and the challenge of writing attentively about a specific thing, whether a sentence or an object. Recorded at Young Space in February 2023. Edited by Frankie Wells. Music composed by Kwes Darko.

The Fitzcarraldo Editions Archive: Brian Dillon In Conversation With Chris Power

With AFFINITIES: On Art &amp; Fascination (NYRB), Brian Dillon completes a "loose trilogy" of books revolving around his connections to art, writing &amp; the world, this time through a series of amazing essays about photography, dance, video, and other art forms, as well as the drift-nature of affinity itself. We get into the tendrils of influence (and how he has to shake himself loose of the reticence of Barthes &amp; Sebald), the act of close looking. the way metaphors &amp; images enable to him to explore art, and why he embraces mood over argument in his essays. We also talk about the ways his recent books (Affinities, Suppose a Sentence, &amp; Essayism) have served as a reboot of his writing, the challenges in wedding the critical/analytic &amp; the memoiristic, his decision to rewrite by hand the previously published pieces for this book to see if new connections revealed themselves, and how he never knows what to ask an artist in the studio. Plus, we discuss how much personal info is too much in an essay, the parallels between his aunt's descent into paranoia with his own pursuit of close looking/reading, the writers he discovered late, what comes next, why he doesn't shy away from calling Affinities an essay collection, and more!

Brian Dillon & Jennifer Higgie: Affinities

Ed Atkins

One of the most widely celebrated artists of his generation, Ed Atkins makes videos, draws, and writes, developing a complex and deeply figured discourse around definition, wherein the impossibilities for sufficient representations of the physical, specifically corporeal, world - from computer generated imagery to bathetic poetry - are hysterically rehearsed. A Primer for Cadavers, his startlingly original first collection, brings together a selection of his texts from 2010 to 2016. He was in conversation with Brian Dillon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
