As juror Mikkel Bogh writes:
“Andrej Kiripolsky is awarded the 15. Juni Foundation’s Honorary Prize as an encouragement to and recognition of a highly promising artistic practice which, with these two works, demonstrates the aesthetic rigor and poetic precision required to address questions as difficult and necessary as these: Who and what shape the future, when the very structures that have sustained society — for better and for worse — are phased out?”

ABOUT THE AHC AND 15. JUNI FONDEN PARTNERSHIP
With a shared vision to promote and support the practice of younger visual artists, Art Hub Copenhagen and 15. Juni Fonden enter a three-year partnership from 2026. For the next three years, three newly graduated visual artists will receive an 11-month development program each year at Art Hub Copenhagen at Thoravej 29, in addition to 15. Juni Fonden’s honorary prize of DKK 50,000.
The artists who receive the foundation’s grant are selected by the foundation’s art jury, which consists of professor Mikkel Bogh from the University of Copenhagen, visual artist Tore Hallas and art critic and mediator Mai Misfeldt.
