About
- Metonymy
- Auckland, New Zealand
- A visual/literary arts initiative, started in 2008, focusing on forging new creative connections across disciplines. We aim to provide an opportunity for artists in the Auckland area to explore media outside their area of expertise. There is an emphasis on equal creative pairings in which each artist will spark off one another. Exploration on new artistic disciplines such as graffiti art and electronic media will be encouraged. The collaboration works will be selected by a panel of prominent figures and acknowledged experts, to feature in an exhibition in May 08, as well as readings and possibly a publication. Metonymy is the brainchild of a group of Auckland poets and visual artists. We are: Hannah May Thompson, Christian Jensen and Renee Liang. Contact address: metonymyproject@gmail.com

Awesome work guys but where are you now? I have written 3 times with a polite request for information and no response?
Both my Met partner and I would happily have donated some of the money paid for one of my submitted works to Metonymy but if you're are just going to keep it (I must assume this in the complete absence of any communication from Metonymy) then I guess thats the end of the good-will. I feel humiliated and embarrassed to have to ask over and over again and write stupid complaints just to get some clarification of a simple point. Hopefully this comment falls on someones ears or will I have to wait till Metonymy10 for you to R.S.V.P?
What a surprise - 2 weeks later I finally got a reply promising to sort it out. However here we are 4 weeks after, as it says on the blog 'May 31st all monies from sale of work distributed to artists'. Metonymy have had the funds cleared for 2 weeks now and has anyone been paid? Apparently they have been busy, they have jobs etc. Funnily enough I am sure many of us who spent precious time and resources making works, (without which there would be no exhibition) also have jobs and yet still managed to deliver high-quality works within a very tight 4-week deadline.
Come on guys, artists expect this sort of treatment from the corporate sector but from the creative sector - it really sucks? And hey how about a message to explain whats going on or is that too much to expect of 'kiwi mannners'?
