Dead Darlings are excited to invite you to our upcoming anonymous art auction, winter edition Issues!²
This will wrap up the second part of our 15th edition under the theme Issues and it will take place smack in the middle of Amsterdam at the historical artist-run space Vrij Paleis, Paleisstraat 107, on Sunday December 11th at 4 o’clock sharp. Register here ahead of time!
Inspired by the original function of Vrij Paleis as a printing press, and the swelling tide of issues developing in our times, we have entitled our upcoming auction: Issues!² Yes, as in the issue of a newspaper but also interpreting broader definitions of the word such as: the matter in question, a predicament, a consequence, or a thing under discussion.
The space will be open for preview 1-6 pm Saturday 10th and 1-4 pm on Sunday 11th. Make sure you come early enough to give yourself time to browse the artworks and find a good spot!
How our auction works: entrance is free, all are welcome. To bid at the auction you need to register and get a paddle. Our amazing tabloid newspaper catalogue — a homage to our hosting space — will be available from Saturday and can be yours for a mere five euros! With the catalogue you receive a free numbered paddle to bid with! We highly recommend you obtain one to help you navigate the auction and support Dead Darlings. For the summer edition we made a serious Broadsheet paper, (that you can browse here) but this time you are in for a fun tabloid edition, complete with the zany sensationalist headlines of that genre, that will tell a story and hopefully also make you smile.
With each catalogue you will get a free beer from Oedipus no less, who are generously providing our event with their sensational beers! Our auction is conducted in a comfortable informal atmosphere, where guests are free to come and go. There will be a bar and a break in the middle.
You can pay cash or card, and may take your artwork home immediately after the sale!
Bring good vibes, your wallet, your friends, and leave the rest to us!
This edition of Dead Darlings is taking place with the kind support of AFK.
What is a Dead Darling? A Dead Darling, is a work that an artist might not normally sell; A fabulous experiment, an outlier, a misfit, yet always something that stands strong on its own and has a story to tell. We give these works a second chance for love and love to tell their story. As these pieces have been previously “killed”, starting prices for our auctions are very low, (ranging from less than one to a hundred euro) giving all of you the opportunity to bid for an original and often unique artwork. All the artworks are auctioned anonymously, so the buyer can connect to what they love! Participating artists are listed, but the names are not revealed in relation to the piece until after the sale.
Who are Dead Darlings? Dead Darlings are a collective founded in Amsterdam in 2005, running anonymous art auctions as a platform that challenges notions of value and explores the complex love triangle between artist, artwork, and collector. Our focus is on artefacts whose value is ambiguous. Our events combine elements of performance and exhibition. As a collective we bring something “unseen” into the public sphere. The core members are Tania Theodorou, Lina Ozerkina, Hanna Mattes and Jessie Yingying Gong. During events our team expands to include more Darlings.
