Key Information
- Exhibition opens 2nd September at Corban Estate Arts Centre
- Final deadline for submissions of work is : 31st August
Delivered with any assembly instructions and artists statements to Corban Estate Gallery, by 2.00 pm.
- Space: Due to space restrictions at Corbans Estate Gallery, visual (including video and sculptural works) will be selected for exhibition by our expert Panel (http://metonymy.weebly.com/team.html).
- Size: the final work has to be no larger than 1 m x 1 m x 2 m - this relates both to object art, installations and wall-hung art.
- Some exceptions to the rule – all video, moving image or audio work has no limit. These work will only be judged on their exhibit-able quality as deemed by our panel. This will be screened on opening and closing nights and be projected onto a wall space with headphones for the sound.
- Performance: We encourage the pairs to include and develop a performance aspect of their work. You will get the opportunity to share this on the 16th October (closing night of exhibition) This will be an additional aspect and elements that must link to the work exhibited in the gallery. Please note that the performance is some time away from the opening so there is time to work on performance even after the exhibition has started. The Outline of what the performance involves must be worked out and handed in on the 31st august though
- Costs: You are responsible for all costs relating to making or producing your work. We also do not insure works, but please talk to us if there are components (eg, electronic or audio equipment) which you would like to be protected.
- Installation: - Please also talk to us (early!) about any special requirements for your work (eg, power, unusual mounting or screen). We expect to be able to screen video works.
Please make sure that you make provisions to get your work to the gallery by the deadline, If you are out of Auckland, this means taking into account freight or choosing a medium which can be emailed.
Expats/Participants outside Auckland - Your work is encouraged to be in electronic format. Metonymy unfortunately has no funds or ability to print or transport your work. Moving image/graphic design, video, photo series , audio, animation or online work will be displayed in the exhibition if selected.
If you wish to mail your work to us, this can be discussed on an individual basis and might be possible under the understanding that the work is still subject to a selection process by the panel.
All work that is completed will he included in our E-Zine, with profiles of all artists and writers that have been involved. This will be made available online, and presented on the 16th October.
Sales 30th October – All monies from sales of artwork will be distributed to the artists. Corban Estate will take 30 % commission for sales (But Metonymy will take nothing!).
Key Dates: Please note all Meet and Greet dates and other associated performances and dates are on the website timeline (http://metonymy.weebly.com/newstimeline.html)
Some Extra Tips / Recommendations for Being selected for the exhibition:
If you are keen to get selected (and we know we all are), remember that the brief we give to our Panel is simply that the work demonstrates 1. collaboration and 2. artistic merit. You can have a look at previous years entires here: (http://metonymy.weebly.com/past-metonymy.html)
Unfortunately not all the work that is completed for Metonymy can be exhibited (we would love to show it all!) . This is firstly because of our limited wall space.
Because of the nature of this project we don’t know exactly what proportion of wall-hung/sculpture/jewellery/moving image/audio etc we will end up with. But we have estimated around 30 pieces (not counting electronic media and outside sculptures) can fit in the gallery.
What to focus on if you really want your work selected for the Exhibition:
- Demonstrative of both Metonymites contribution to the work
- The work and all its aspects (literary or visual) is created in the process of the Collaboration period ( not re – using previous work ) and is unique and original (meaning the pairs share a collective copyright of the completed work – please don’t hesitate to ask if you want to know what this entails and what your options are for future use of the material)
- Accompanied by an artist statement that outlined well the collaborative aspect of the finished work
- Interesting and innovative.
