Metronome is an artists' and writers' organ founded in 1996 by Clémentine Deliss.

It acts as alternative art publishing, because it has not a fixed editorial team and a fixed location. Its activity started with a magazine with the same name of the organisation (Metronome) and in 2005 Clémentine Deliss decided to build also a publishing house called Metronome Press.

Metronome is a non-profit organisation, it is first of all an organ and a research methodology where artists, writers and curators collaborate to produce printed projects.

Its first attempt is to work with fiction, mixing art and literature. For this reason professionals of aesthetic practice, such as the artist, the critic or the writer, overlap and change their role.








The artwork

Metronome is the name also of a collective artwork with no editorial team or regular time structure.

Each issue is the result of a research made in a number of different cities and locations of the world including Dakar, London, Berlin, Copenhagen, Oslo, Basel, Frankfurt, Vienna and others. Every time the editor Clémentine Deliss creates a group of new collaborators related to the place. Metronome cannot be considered an art magazine as such because it includes texts of fiction rather than criticism or theoretical texts written by art critics.

"Metronome is an interpretational tool rather than a vehicle for the promotion of artists' works" (Clémentine Deliss)
