Hosted by Dead Darlings · arts · EN
Darling Killers is a podcast where we interrogate artists about a specific artwork they killed during the artistic process. Something with personal meaning to the artist, yet no commercial price tag, something they would not otherwise exhibit or sell. In the podcast, we single out individual artists who plead guilty of killing a darling, we poke and prod to find out the circumstances, search for the motive and eventually, we strive to redeem the artwork in question through an online “Resurrauction”.
