Metonymy 2011

Various Artists and Writers

9 Sept – 9 Oct | Opens Thursday 8 Sept, 6pm

Metonymy is an annual Auckland-wide collaboration project, now in its fourth year. It is creative blind dating (with the idea that people often spark creatively when they are exposed to new ideas and methods of working) in which artists from different disciplines – visual, literary, film, dance, theatre – are matched and given eight weeks to create a work: object, written, performance or somewhere in between. The best of these works will be showcased in September 2011 at Corban Estate Arts Centre. The artworks for exhibition will be selected by a panel of senior artists, curators and writers.

Organisers: James Allan, Rosetta Allan, Christian Jensen, Renee Liang, Meghan Geliza and Selene Simcox
