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
