Darling Killers

• Darling Killers #07 - Uta Eisenreich

  Uta Eisenreich is an Amsterdam-based artist and visual researcher. Born in Germany into a family of teachers — a forgetful mathematician, an erratic elementary school teacher, a dancer, and a teenage amateur magician — she grew up channeling these diverse influences. She graduated from Gerrit Rietveld Academy, with humorous photographic works that reveal and question the hidden rules and structures of order (that's the cutting edge of German humour of course). She also works with performance and video. Her critically acclaimed books are artworks in-and-of-themselves, and for the Resurrauction, she offers the world two unique volumes as a set. A not B and AS IF, made together with award winning Julia Born, were subject to mysterious “fuck ups” in production ten years apart, and for very different reasons. Killed not by the artist, but by external circumstances, these darlings are as desirable as they are obscure! Listen to their stories and join our online auction! Teaser: book-nerds and collectors: Be excited! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire these very special editions, even more unique than the official collectable books, offered by the author at the symbolic price of one euro.

• Darling Killers #06 - Lieve Hakkers

  "I had the pleasure of sitting down in the studio with Lieve Hakkers, recipient of the prestigious Royal Award for Free Painting in 2025. Layered and mysterious, her work draws you in with its melancholic intensity. We talk about method, paint, and the body. We talk about her large-scale work, Circle Jerk - a bold painting in six panels that came with a sexual content warning! Lieve is a painter’s painter. Hours of study, research, experimentation and solitude, mix with her bold and original colour palette to create her distinct visual language." The utterly enchanting, dark little painting she chose for this month’s Resurrauction, is titled Metallica II. By bidding here you support the artist and Darling Killers directly.

• Darling Killers #05 - Ruth van Beek

  For this episode of Darling Killers, I sit down with the illustrious Ruth Van Beek, and it immediately becomes painfully obvious that I can barely disguise my greed for the small sculpture she brought along as her contribution to this month’s Resurrauction. Well, I am only human! Ruth’s collages obfuscate and reveal in equal measure. Ruth doesn’t hesitate to destroy images in order to create images. She lives and works in a seaside town with her family and a formidable collection of clocks. Working with an eclectic archive as raw material, she creates playful and painterly works that more often than not, end up in one of her delightful and widely acclaimed artist books. Blue figure is a rare three-dimensional rendering of one of her collages that doubles as a kind of talisman that has served its time watching over the artist's studio.

• Darling Killers #04 - Jacopo Calonaci

  A tall impeccably dressed red headed Italian man with an uncanny resemblance to Vincent van Gogh, and the gift of the gab, is currently working on a series of collectable sculptures and prints, based on a delirious yet adorable inner world. J is for jaded. A is for art lover, C for cringe. O for omg, and the final "P-O" stands for Premature Osteoporosis. Born and raised in Firenze, the cradle of the Renaissance, Jacopo Calonaci, a reformed painter, ended up in Amsterdam, the king-sized bed of art funding, but he never quite got comfortable in that bed. Instead he carved his own path. Check out his Etsy store: @Studio Giggly, where your cutest hallucinations will come to life, and for god’s sake give the seal of excellence, your seal of approval.

• Darling Killers #03 - Aurélien Lepetit

  In this episode of Darling Killers, Aurélien Lepetit sits down with Jessie Gong. Their conversation touches on the technical, and practical aspects of his practice, the homage to a family tradition, and the moral implications of working with textiles and technology in terms of sustainability. Aurélien works at the crossroads of textile techniques, computing, and plant-based processes, transforming biometric and empirical data into a textile lexicon (Did you get all that? No? Then listen to this episode where he unpacks it all in a sexy voice)! Currently he researches old alchemical books and makes dye from food waste, medicinal plants and suburban flowers. The work Aurélien selected for our "Resurrauction" is a dead darling because it was made before that switch. RGB is available at the symbolic starting price of one euro.
