KIRIPOLSKY A.

"They may rest from their labor; for their deeds follow them!"

Solo Exhibition; 2024
Q Gallery, Copenhagen
Curated by Nikol Czuczorova

Exhibition embarks on a poetic journey through the void left by the closure of the Nováky Coil Power Plant. Kiripolsky explores themes of identity, heritage, and the socio-political changes tied to the coal industry of his hometown. Through video works, sculptures, and installations, the exhibition reflects on the dignity of labor, resilience, and the transition toward a sustainable future. It highlights themes of loss and renewal and broader narratives of transformation in a post-industrial era. Ultimately, it serves as a tribute to the workers whose efforts powered homes for over 70 years.
