Kill Your Darlings - Kolijn Jagersma

Who wants to destroy their artworks?
Do you, the artist, have the guts to Kill Your Darlings?
Bring it with you and let’s destroy it together.
We invite everybody to bring a failed artwork.

The concept is simple: four artists, four artworks, four destruction ceremonies. We’re here to recreate, mutate, annihilate and disintegrate. Some works of art are just not meant to be preserved.

The artists kill one of their works in their own unique way. From the ashes new art will rise. Sometimes you simply need to kill your darlings before you can start growing again. The attendants are free to bring a failed artwork of your own to reshape – we’ll help!

Some will say goodbye to their work in a conceptual way, while others will literally destroy. Kill. Burn. Freeze. In between performances you are more than welcome to destroy your own work. But remember, safety first. Or at least second.
Free black coffee and dry cake provided.

We stop conserving. And glorify destruction. In the ashes we shall rise. There is no true beauty without decay.💕
