Hollace M. Metzger

*1975 US

Hollace M. Metzger (b. 1975) is an American visual and conceptual artist, author and architect. In 1999, she received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Kentucky, spending two years studying abroad in Venice. In Italy, Metzger studied classical music and developed her unique style of poetic writing, exploring verbal sketches, sounds, and spatial experience events as supplementary artistic techniques to drawing. After returning to the United States, Hollace completed her graduate thesis Kin-Aesthetic Fourth Dimension in which she concluded that architecture, human-scale/spatial experience, psychology and art-as-process are combined, conscious objectives in architectural practice. In 2000, Metzger moved to New York to complete her architectural apprenticeship. In 2006–07, Hollace Metzger began performing her writings and exhibiting paintings in NYC and Brooklyn. Metzger relocated to Dublin in the summer of 2007, and took residence in Paris after touring Western Europe. In 2011, she initiated MiDEA, a cross-disciplinary design atelier where she continued working on projects in painting, voice, writing, residential design, public art installations, studies in dance and photography. She wrote and published a number of books, such as Observing the Labyrinth from Heaven (2007, 2008), Transcriptions of Time (2009), Why the WilloW (2010), Eternal Story (2011) and 3VOLVE (2013).
