About

Andrej Kiripolsky, Slovak contemporary artist based in Copenhagen, working with post-industrial installation art and sculpture

A Copenhagen-based artist, examines the intersections of labor, industrial heritage, and community through installation, video, and sculpture. Rooted in personal narratives, his practice reflects on the resilience of post-industrial landscapes and the socio-political transformations that shape them. His early works explored speculative design and the cultural significance of utilitarian objects, drawing inspiration from his father’s craftsmanship as a welder. This foundation evolved into a focus on the Nováky Coal Power Plant, a cornerstone of his hometown and a defining symbol of industrial decline.
