Dead Darlings —A Flash in the Pan

Friends Make Books, 2018

*A Flash in the Pan

“A thing or person whose sudden but brief success 
is not repeated or repeatable.”

“Something that shows great promise, 
then disappoints by being over too quickly.”

Sometimes a work had its 15 minutes of fame, its brief moment in the spotlight and then got put aside, never really given a proper chance… It may not be a darling killed by you during the artistic process, but rather an “undead” darling, gathering dust in a corner of your studio, or hanging unappreciated in your mothers’ guest bedroom. DD 10TH AUCTION giveS that piece a second chance.

Dead Darlings is an interactive event combining elements of performance and exhibition that come together in the form of a non-profit anonymous art auction. Our collective has been active, and organising this event annually since 2005. All proceeds made from artwork sales go to our favourite “charity”: the people who made the work.
