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”.

Darling Killers #09
Darling Killers’ 1st season closes with a very special extended episode featuring the artist Melanie Bonajo in discussion with members of the Dead Darlings collective. We recorded in Berlin before our auction at Heimathafen with our twentieth anniversary show in W139 still months ahead, so the timing was perfect to dive deep into conversations about collectivity, authorship and collaboration, and discuss social activism in a backdrop of institutional restraint. We talked about what it means to choose the path less traveled by, yet still find ways to financially support your project and reach out beyond a limited periphery. Melanie Bonajo tells us about their repeated (and failed) attempts to leave the art world behind, and about how they kept getting sucked back in, by an invitation to represent the Netherlands in the 2022 Venice Biennale for example. This journey took them from “rage-camp” to “cuddle puddle”, so tune in and find out how! In this episode the dead darling we discuss is a rejected proposal, therefore not the same work offered up for the last resurrection of Darling Killers. Instead we have a very typical Bonajo image, that happens to be rolled up in their attic and in need of a new home… The starting price as always: 1 euro. Need I say more?
